The production and productivity of bitter-gourd is severely damaged
by melon fruit-fly. Since, its maggots damage the fruits
internally; its chemical control is difficult. It is, therefore,
imperative to explore alternatives and develop IPM strategy for the
effective management of this pest. This book provides the readers
with knowledge of various IPM strategies which can be used
effectively for its management. The contents of this book consist
of lab and field experiments which were carried out to evaluate
different botanicals, food-baits, pheromones-baits-traps,
oviposition-baits, insecticide-baited-foods/pheromones and
cultural- control-tactics against melon fruit-fly in bitter- gourd.
Highly effective of above mentioned tactics were integrated into 8
IPM-Models, which were evaluated at two localities. The results
revealed that the descending order of the performance of tested
IPM-Models was: IPM-Model-7 > IPM-Model-3 > IPM-Model-6 >
IPM-Model-4 > IPM-Model-5 > IPM-Model- 2 > IPM-Model-1
> IPM-Model-8. In conclusion, IPM- Model-3, IPM-Model-4,
IPM-Model-5, IPM-Model-6 and IPM-Model-7 can be exercised in the
areas where there are hot spots of melon fruit flies.
