本文对肯尼亚恩布县芒果实蝇的综合防治进行了经济效益评价。差异中的差异（DD）的方法被用来评估芒果IPM的芒果拒绝和杀虫剂支出和净收入的大小的影响。研究显示，平均而言，芒果IPM参与者的芒果排斥程度降低了约54.5%;每英亩杀虫剂的花费减少了46.3%，净收入比非参与者多出约22.4%。这意味着应用果蝇虫害综合防治技术将带来很高的经济效益，如果将干预措施扩大到广泛覆盖肯尼亚其他芒果种植区，芒果种植者将大大受益。
This paper evaluated economic benefits of managing mango infesting fruit flies in Embu County, Kenya using Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy that composed of Male Annihilation Technique (MAT), protein bait spray, releases of exotic parasitoid Fopius arisanus and the use of augmentorium. The Difference-in-difference (DD) method was used to assess the impact of the mango IPM on magnitude of mango rejection and insecticide expenditure and net income. The study revealed that on average, mango IPM participants had approximately 54.5 percent reduction in magnitude of mango rejection; spent 46.3 percent less on insecticide per acre and received approximately 22.4 percent more net income than the non participants. These imply a high economic benefit from the application of the fruit flies IPM technology and mango farmers would profit significantly if the intervention is expanded to widely cover other mango growing areas in Kenya.
