| Latin Name | Bactrocera cucurbitae |
| Common Name | Melon fly |
| Biology | Adults exhibit diurnal activity, ovipositing within cucurbit fruits such as cucumbers and bitter melons. Larvae bore into the fruit tissues, inducing deformities and rot that culminate in premature fruit drop – a devastating quarantine pest for cucurbit crops. |
| Damage | This pest primarily damages cucumbers, bitter melons, loofahs, pumpkins and other melon vegetables. |
| Distribution Regions | Global cucurbit-growing regions |
| Monitoring | Pheromone lures mimic natural sex pheromones to attract male insects into specialized traps for population monitoring and suppression. As a core IPM component, monitoring enables early risk detection and targeted control. Mass trapping reduces mating opportunities to curb offspring populations. Protocols: ●Use only with matched traps. ●15-45 traps/hectare,replace/replenish every 4-6 weeks. ●Wear gloves or wash hands with detergent when switching lure types. ●Refer to trap-specific hanging instructions. |
