Few varieties of Cucumber and number of sprays of Dipterex 80SP were evaluated against fruit fly complex on cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). All the tested cucumber varieties (Local/Desi, Royal Silus, and Khira L green) did not show any satisfactory resistance against Bactrocera spp. However, Local/Desi variety ranked first in reducing fruit fly infestation followed by Royal Silus and Khira L green, as 36% in Desi variety wa significantly lower than 52 and 70 % infestation in Royal Silus and Khira L green, respectively. Two to three sprays of Dipterex 80SP, although statistically similar in reducing the fruit fly infestation, were significantly better than one spray and the control treatment.
