The results reveal that Dipterex with molasses was found most effective, followed by malathion with molasses, Dipterex alone and Malathion alone at all of the three tested concentrations in the reduction of muskmelon fruit fly infestation. These treatments were found non significantly different from each others at all of the test concentrations but were found significantly different from the control. High concentration of insecticides was found significantly more effective against melon fruit fly than low concentration. Loses percent of infested muskmelon fruits were recorded in plots treated with three sprays of Malathion and Dipterex, while two sprays of these insecticides were also found significantly better in the reduction of the infestation at 1% concentration compared to one spray.
