Abstract: An experiment was carried out to evaluate three packages viz., perforated polyethylene bagging, covering fruits by PVC pipe and poison bait trap against fruit fly on cucumber. Bagging of cucumber with perforated polyethylene bags at immature stage significantly reduced the fruit fly infestation. The level of fruit fly infestation under PVC pipe was higher compared with bagged ones but it was lower than bait-trap used. The bagging of fruits for combating the fruit fly on cucumber might be considered as an IPM package.
