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.

The Field Identification Guide is designed to assist growers, workers, students and consultants to correctly identify pests, beneficials, diseases and disorders in cucurbits in Australia. Intended to be used as a tool in integrated pest management n cucurbits, it draws on the experience of a range of scientists and industry experts. The Field Identification Guide presents over 270 colour photographs in 147 pages of illustrations and text. It contains a comprehensive list of organisms and nutritional disorders identified as currently important to this industry. This resource is an example of practical outcomes from the AusVeg levy and Horticulture Australia.

"In summary, nematode control measures can be conveniently divided into 2 major categories including cultural and chemical control measures. None of these measures should be relied upon exclusively for nematode management. Rather, when practical and economics permit, each management procedure should be considered for use in conjuction with all other available measures for nematode control and used in an integrated program of nematode management. In addition to nematodes, many other pests can cause crop damage and yield losses which further enforces the development of an overall, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program, utilizing all available chemical and nonchemical means of reducing pest populations to subeconomic levels. An IPM approach further requires that growers attempt to monitor or scout fields for pest densities at critical periods of crop growth.

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.
