Overview

Randomised intervention decreased Bactrocera cucurbitae infestation in bitter gourd, suggesting biopesticides are effective solutions for sustainable agriculture.

Key Points

  • Treatment with ginger and neem extracts significantly reduced melon fruit fly infestation to 13.62% and 15.88%, respectively.
  • Control plots experienced a high infestation rate of 70.32%, underscoring the efficacy of biopesticidal approaches.
  • The study explored multiple biopesticidal agents, highlighting the potential of sustainable pest management techniques.
  • Integrated pest management methods are necessary for efficient, long-lasting control of Bactrocera cucurbitae in agriculture.
