Bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria (Molina) Standl.) is an important cucurbit crop, but its yield is greatly reduced by the red pumpkin beetle (Aulacophora foveicollis Lucas). The pest attacks the crop from the seedling stage, feeding on cotyledons, leaves, and tender parts, causing serious damage. To ensure safe and sustainable management, eco-friendly approaches are essential. Cultural practices like early sowing, crop rotation, and field sanitation help reduce infestation. Mechanical methods such as hand picking and use of sticky traps are also useful. Botanical treatments including NSKE (5%), neem oil (0.5%), and azadirachtin (3000 ppm) effectively reduce feeding and egg laying. Biological control using Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae further supports pest management. Thus, integration of these eco-friendly methods provides an effective and sustainable solution for managing red pumpkin beetle in bottle gourd.
