Abstract

Among the various vegetables, cucurbits are the largest group of summer vegetable crops grown in the country. As all the cultivated cucurbits are vines or creepers, they provide ample hiding places to the insect-pests. Nair (1986) mentioned around 45 insect species belonging to different species, genera, family and order that infest cucurbits. Of these, the fruit fly (Bactrocera cucurbitae Coq.) is highly damaging pest of almost all the cucurbit vegetables making fruits unfit for consumption.
