Abstract：Drosophila suzukii and D.melanogaster are important pests with different feeding preference. In order to make clear the discrepancy in tolerance to environmental acetic acid,we assessed mortality of D. suzukii and D.melanogaster after feeding artificial diet with different contents of acetic acid.The LC50was also calculated at specific exposing time.The results showed that the mortality of the two Drosophila species was ever-increasing with the increase of acetic acid content and exposing time.However,the mortality of D.mel-anogaster was higher than that of D.suzukii under the same content of acetic acid and exposing time.The LC50 of D.melanogaster and D.suzukii adults decreased gradually with the increase of exposing time.Moreover,the LC50of D.melanogaster was higher than that of D.suzukii under the same time.Therefore,D.melanogaster had higher tolerance to environmental acetic acid than D.suzukii.
