C. vesuviana Jujube Gujarat Patel et al. 1989 Of various insecticides tested against Carpomyia vesuviana on Ziziphus mauritiana in Gujarat, fenthion at 0.1%
applied 3 times was the most effective against the pest, followed by endosulfan at 0.07%, also applied 3 times.
Fenthion also resulted in the highest yields, followed by endosulfan and 0.04% malathion. The most economical
treatments comprised 2 sprays of endosulfan or malathion.
C. vesuviana Jujube Gujarat Patel et al. 1990 The efficacy of the insecticides fenthion, methyl-o-demeton [demeton-o-methyl], monocrotophos, formothion,
methyl parathion [parathion-methyl], phosphamidon, dimethoate and thiometon (all 0.03%), malathion 0.07%,
quinalphos, phenthoate and phosalone (all 0.05%) and decamethrin [deltamethrin] 0.00125% to control
Carpomyia vesuviana infesting fruit orchards in Gujarat was determined. Dimethoate, fenthion, phosphamidon
and deltamethrin were the most effective insecticides and infestation levels after treatment were 8.83, 11.86,
14.90 and 14.95%, respectively, and endosulfan was least effective (20.50%).
B. cucurbitae Musk melon South India Pawar et al. 1984 Of 6 insecticides used in trials with the cv. Pusa Sarbati, monocrotophos 40 e.c. gave the best result at 0.05% of
B. cucurbitae. However, the highest yields (5240.7 kg/ha) were obtained from plants treated with permethrin 20
e.c. at 0.1%. The yields under other treatments ranged from 3638.8 to 5101.7 kg/ha, with 3018.5 kg/ha in the
control.
C. vesuviana Jujube Haryana Popli et al. 1980 0.05 per cent malathion - waiting period two days before harvesting fruits for human consumption; washing for 30
seconds rendered fruit fit even on the day of treatment. Treated leaves can be safely fed to sheep and goats 14
days after application.

1992 When 6 insecticides were tested in Tamil Nadu in 1989 and 1990 against Carpomyia vesuviana on ber (Ziziphus
mauritiana), 2 applications (at the pea stage of the fruits and 15 days later) of 0.1% dichlorvos gave the best
results (in terms of reduced fruit infestation), followed by 0.036% monocrotophos, 0.05% malathion and 0.07%
phosalone.
1992 Five chemical insecticides and 3 plant extracts were tested against 2 pests on Moringa oleifera grown as a
vegetable crop in Tamil Nadu in 1988-89. All treatments against Gitona sp. (in which the pesticides were applied
in sprays at 3 litres/tree during 50% fruit set) caused significant reductions in the percentage of fruits infested and
the mean number of larvae per fruit, as compared with the untreated control. Treatment against Noorda blitealis
took place during the early vegetative stage and flowering, and all treatments caused significant reductions in
larval populations up to 21 days after treatment, as compared with the control. The best results against the 2
pests were obtained with 0.04% dichlorvos and fenthion and 1% neem cake extract and neem oil.
