Ten fruit commodities showing pest infestation symptoms were examined, with parameters including pest types and associated symptoms. The results revealed three pest species attacking fruits at Duman Market, namely Noorda albizonalis, Bactrocera spp., and Tirathaba ruptilinea. These findings highlight the importance of post-harvest pest management in maintaining fruit quality and minimizing economic losses, particularly in traditional markets where diverse fruit commodities are traded.
