Mexican guava is the largest single use of phytosanitary irradiation. It is successfully irradiated at a minimum dose of 400 Gy to control a wide variety of insects that may infest it including fruit flies, mealybugs, caterpillars, scale insects, weevils, and whiteflies before export to the USA. With appropriate research that dose might be reduced to 250 Gy.
