Abstract Green olives of three varieties were sprayed in the laboratory with 1% copper hydroxide plus 0.1% Agral-90 in tap water. A few hours and 1 and 2 days later, the treated olives were offered for oviposition to 15–20-day-old females of Dacus oleae (Gmelin) (Diptera: Tephritidae), in two-choice and nochoice tests lasting 3 h. In all cases, copper hydroxide had a strong oviposition-deterring effect, while Agral-90 alone was ineffective.
