Abdul Qadir During fruit initiation stage your vines are affected by Melon Fruit Fly . Now you can't do anything. Install pheromone traps in flower and fruit set stage is the only effective measures against this pest.

Abdul Qadir Now no need to install traps. Melon Fruit Fly may be a problem before fruit attain 300 gm size.
