The interrelationship between factors of climate change and oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis have not been investigated thoroughly in Nepal. Thus, a study was conducted to understand the effect of different factors of climate change on growth and development of oriental fruit fly B. dorsalis. The study was carried out in laboratory conditions of the Entomology department, Agriculture and Forestry University, Chitwan, Nepal where samples of oriental fruit fly B. dorsalis were collected and reared in the artificial condition. Oriental fruit flies B. dorsalis of a specific stage were tested in the environmental chambers to determine their interlinkage with fluctuating relative humidity and temperature. Sample insects were also kept in the chambers to detect their effect by variable carbon dioxide (CO2). At 50c temperature the average numbers of B. dorsalis were 15, however, their growth and development changed leading to their numbers equal to 13 at 150c and 1 at 400c. The average numbers (i.e., growth and development) of oriental fruit fly B. dorsalis observed were non-significant with variable temperature. Growth and development of B. dorsalis found positively correlated with the relative humidity. Maximum development and increase in pest population detected between 60-70%. Relative humidity (RH). Growth and development of oriental fruit fly B. dorsalis were positively correlated with changing carbon dioxide (CO2), however, significant increase in pest population found at 570 ppm carbon dioxide. Therefore, the factors of climate change found directly interrelated with the growth and development of oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis.
