This study assessed several bioecological aspects of the black fig fly, Silba adipata McAlpine (Diptera: Lonchaeidae), the main pest of fig (Ficus carica L.). Figs were collected from eight sites in the Mexican states of Michoacán (Plan de Ayala, Los Tejones, Antúnez, Tangancícuaro, Indaparapeo, El Carrizal, and Charapendo) and Morelos (Telixtac). No infestation was recorded in figs collected in Charapendo, but, in the remaining sites, it was variable (2–33%). Figs from Plan de Ayala and El Carrizal were longer and contained more larvae than those from Telixtac and Los Tejones. Some figs (≤12) collected in Telixtac and Los Tejones contained few pupae or adults. The survival of larval and pupal stages (≤86%) and the proportion of females (40–53%) were determined at the sites where the infestation of figs was >6% (Telixtac, El Carrizal, Plan de Ayala, and Los Tejones). In the second part of this study, the development of individuals collected in Los Tejones was analyzed under constant conditions. The estimated larval duration time was between 13 and 15 d, whereas pupae lasted 11 d. The survival rate and longevity of females and males were very similar. Our results could help design a program for integrated pest management against S. adipata. Full article

This study started from a fig-derived product project in the 2022–2026 Strategic Plan from Sonora, Mexico, to develop technological solutions in complex environments and provide a global panorama from the industry to the prevailing situation in Valle del Mayo. A technological solution is based on a graphical interface to support decision-making in fig supply, production and distribution in the administration process, given that the main problem has been the lack of a processing plant with a sustainable approach. Four options were set up for nine producers—figs in syrup, dehydrated, marmalade, compost—based on the system dynamics methodology to solve the problem of factory installation. Six stages were followed: (1) mapping the system to determine variables and parameters; (2) constructing the causal diagram; (3) developing the flow and level diagram and model equations; (4) simulating and validating the current model; (5) designing policies and evaluating scenarios using a multi-criteria analysis; and (6) developing the graphical interface. The main conclusions show that fig-derived products and their distribution can feature in diverse markets in a graphics environment supported by complex mathematical models in the supply chain along with the capacity to generate income into utilities to support the decision of the physical factory prior to important investments.
