Abstract

The following eight species of fruit fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae and B. caudate in cue lure and B. affinis, B. caryeae, B. correcta, B. diversa, B. dorsalis, and B. zonata caught in methyl eugenol baited traps. Rabi season, characterized by the active presence of B. cucurbitae, B. correct, B. diverse, and B. dorsalis, zaid by B. caudada, B. zonata, and B. affinis and kharif by B. caryeae. The cuelure performance held the highest caught 80.16%, and the bottle fruit fly trap trapped the highest number of fruit flies (48%) during zaid season, and it trapped 153.1 FFs after a rupee investment. There was a correlation between B. correcta, B. cucurbitae, B. diversa, and B. dorsalis population with abiotic factors that prevalence was negative with maximum and minimum temperatures, wind, and rainfall. Fruit fly management is challenging because of their feeding habits, high reproduction rates, habitat variation, and polyphagous nature. One management tactic will not be able to handle fruit fli
