Abstract: The field experiment was carried out on evaluation of insecticides in the management of fruit flies infesting ridge gourd during kharif season of 2017 at Central Experimental Station, Wakawali, Dist- Ratnagiri. During this study evaluate six insecticides viz., spinosad 45 SC @ 0.014, emamectin benzoate 5 SG @ 0.002, deltamethrin 2.8 EC @ 0.0024, azadirachtin (1%) @ 0.003, dichlorvos 76 EC @ 0.05 and malathion 50 EC @ 0.05 percent respectively. The results regarding overall mean of three sprays on the efficacy of insecticides indicated that spinosad 45 SC @ 0.014 percent was the best treatment which recorded minimum (23.55%) mean fruit infestation and was at par with emamectin benzoate 5 SG @ 0.002 percent (24.77%) and deltamethrin 2.8 EC @ 0.0024 percent (25.93%). All the above treatments were found to be superior over untreated control which recorded highest (47.19%) fruit infestation.
