We would like also to thank ORSTOM and the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs to have supported and funded the project. The names and description of all the cultivars collected during the project is given in a floppy disk (DBase/// plus) with can be obtain from: -Department of agriculture - Department of forestry - Department of National Planning - Environnement Unit The botanical description and the measurement of all the trees tagged during the project will be given further 4 INTRODUCTION The project Trees of The Islands: traditional cultivation of fruit trees in Vanuatu, was initiated in 1991 by ORSTOM and the Department of Agriculture of Vanuatu in order to investigate the potential of local fruit trees and nut trees as smallholder based cash crops. This project was divided into two main parts: 1. Identification and collection of varieties of Navele (Barringtonia spp), N’aduledule (Burckella spp), Nangai (Canarium spp) , Nakatambol (Dracontomelon vitiense), Namambe (Inocarpus fagifer), Nandau (Pometia pinnata), Naus (Spondias dulcis), Nagavika (Syzygium malaccense) and Natapoa ( Terminalia catappa). Identification of other edible species of fruit trees or nut trees. 2. Assessment of traditional maintenance and protection of the edible fruit trees and nut trees ; Understanding how arboriculture overall is integrated to other production methods in terms of space distribution, work time, production and consumption. The main purpose of this project is to find the best cultivars for the development and to coordinate this development with the conservation of the biodiversity of the country. This plant stock represents a rich heritage for Vanuatu and some morphotypes are already rare and endangered. For this reason, all the varieties observed, in each island we visited, where tagged with a reference number and carefully recorded. In each island a person has been appointed to look after the established alive collection . This document is a technical report on the variety collection of fruit trees and nut trees established trough out the islands of Vanuatu. The description of the species studied and their varieties has been given in a previous report’ and will not take place in this document. lnsteed we shall give: 1.

The variability of data recorded in each island depends upon the availability of fruits at the time, the traditional knowledge of trees varieties and the existence of such varieties. In some islands the farmers are able to recognize and name a wider range of varieties of a given species than in some other islands. Some species, like Barringtonia, have more nam’ed varieties than other, like Burckella.

  • Fruit Flies in Vanuatu
    27 ISSN 1017-6276 FRUIT FLIES IN VANUATU Twelve species of fruit flies (Family Tephritidae: Sub-family Dacinae) have been recorded from trapping programmes and fruit surveys, conducted by the Vanuatu Government, Project on Regional Management of Fruit Flies in the Pacific and the ACIAR fruit fly project, since 1994. Despite this number of species, Vanuatu is in a very fortunate position with respect to its fruit fly status. None of the major world species have been recorded and the species that occur in Vanuatu are not as aggressive or damaging as many other species that occur in the Pacific region or elsewhere in the world. Eleven of the species belong to the genus Bactrocera and one to the genus Dacus. Eight of the species are well known to science, while three species are undescribed and are new to science. Only three species infest fruits that may be regarded as commercial or edible. Figure 1. Bactrocera trilineola. Figure 2. Breadfruit fly (Bactrocera umbrosa). Figure 3. Bactrocera quadrisetosa. Figure 4. Bactrocera B. sp. nov. near paraxanthodes NZODA Economically Important Fruit Fly Species The species that infest commercial or edible fruits are Bactrocera trilineola Drew, B. umbrosa (Fabricius) and B. quadrisetosa (Bezzi). Bactrocera trilineola (Figure 1) B. trilineola is restricted to Vanuatu, but is widely distributed there. It occurs on all islands where trapping or fruit surveys have been done and probably occurs on most of Vanuatu’s 80 islands. It has been recorded from 32 hosts, belonging to 18 plant families. Of the 32 recorded hosts, 22 are regarded as commercial or edible fruits.

We suspect that this is the single most native-dominated forests of American Samoa and the important reason why F. moluccana removal is a response of invaded forests to its removal. We sampled successful management strategy; once F. moluccana is species richness, seedling and stem densities, biomass, removed, native tree species grow rapidly, exploiting and soil inorganic N status in native-dominated forests, the legacy of increased available soil N and available and in forests invaded by F. moluccana where it was sunlight.
