Book Description
With advances in agro-technology, cucurbits are now being grown throughout the year. However, they are prone to biotic and abiotic stresses resulting in significant yield loss. Sustainable management of such stresses is a complex issue in the intensive cultivation of cucurbits involving high levels of fertilization and irrigation. Further, under the changing climatic conditions, pest scenarios vary constantly, with invasive alien species of pests becoming more common as a result of free trade and frequent international travel. As such, agrochemicals are being used as powerful weapons to combat the increasing number of pests and diseases. Lack of proper crop management technologies, inaccurate diagnosis, and indiscriminate and excessive use of pesticides are major causes of pesticide resistance and resurgence, environmental pollution, and hazards to the non-target biota. This comprehensive book provides essential insights into the management of biotic and abiotic stresses in cucurbit cultivation and re-evaluating the role of agrochemicals, and gathers information on insect pests, mites, nematodes, diseases and weeds, as well as on their sustainable management from scattered sources. Written in language that is easy to understand and including high-quality photographs, it is a valuable resource for students, researchers, plant protection specialists, extension workers, and growers.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Biology - Miscellaneous, course: Agriculture, language: English, abstract: The study entitled "Major Insect Pest of Cucurbits and their management practices adopted in Lamjung District" were carried out from June23, 2018 to August 25, 2018. Total 95 farmers were interviewed randomly from Dhamilikuwa, Baanjhakhet, Khudi, Tarkughat, Gairi. It was found that majority of farmer belong to 30-40 age groups which accounts 33% and most them are males. The study showed that there were many insect pests attacking cucurbits family, like Fruit fly, Red pumpkin beetle, Aphid, Whitefly, Epilachna beetle, Cucurbit sting bug, Cutworm, Blister beetle. Among them fruit fly shows higher incidence followed by Aphid and Red pumpkin beetle and causes high economic loss. Aphid and Blister beetle also causing losses in the field and other insect pest like whitefly and cutworm is very few in numbers. However, attempts were made to reduce the damage. Farmers use mechanical and chemical methods as a pest management strategy. About thirty five percent of respondent use chemical methods for controlling the pests. Twenty six percent were use mechanical methods. For mechanical method they use sex pheromone traps i.e cue lure. In case of botanical they use neem(Azadircta indica), asuro(Justicia adhatoda), bakaino (Melia azedarch), titepati(Artemisia spp) etc. Commonly used insecticides that are used by farmers were, Dicholorovos, Cypermethrin, Dimethoate, Malathion, Endosulfan.The indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides has resulted pest resistance, resurgence and sometimes outbreak. Majority of farmers were unaware about methods of pest management other than chemical methods.
