BUTTERFLYFly Lure – Advanced Pheromone Trap for Bactrocera cucurbitae

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.

The Threat of Melon Fly

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.

Suitable for These Crops

  • Bitter Gourd
  • Muskmelon
  • Watermelon
  • Cucumber
  • Gherkin
  • Ridge Gourd & Sponge Gourd
  • Over 70 cucurbitaceous host plants

Key Benefits

  • Highly Specific: Attracts only male Bactrocera cucurbitae
  • Residual-Free: No chemical contact with fruits or foliage
  • Long Duration: Effective for 45–60 days; replace after 45 days
  • IPM Compatible: Ideal for eco-safe pest management alongside Mitrasena Suraksha
  • Reduces Yield Loss: Early trapping curbs infestation before fruiting stages

Installation & Usage Instructions

Trap Type Fly Trap (Transparent top, yellow base)
Placement Hang 1–2 ft above the crop canopy using wire hanger
Lure Position Place Mohini Lure in holder inside the upper part of the trap
Activation Time Starts working in 48 hours

  • Mass Trapping: 12 traps/lures per acre

Optional Food Bait Integration

Pheromone lures attract only male flies. To capture females as well:

  • Mix food bait with water (as per instructions)
  • Pour into the yellow base of the trap
  • Refill bait regularly, especially in hot climates
