Mohini Melon Fly Lure offers a proactive solution to manage Bactrocera cucurbitae (Melon Fruit Fly), one of the most destructive pests in cucurbit crops. Designed for use in fly traps, this pheromone lure targets adult male flies to prevent mating and suppress population buildup before irreversible damage occurs.
Female melon flies lay eggs 2–4 mm deep inside soft fruits. Maggots feed internally, causing premature fruit drop and internal rot—often going unnoticed until the damage is done. Because internal feeding makes pesticide penetration ineffective, mass trapping adult flies is the most practical control strategy.
