Eight insecticidal/non-insecticidal treatments including control (no spray) were tested against red pumpkin beetle, Aulacophora, (Raphidopalpa) foveicollis on cucumber during Kharif 2004 at National Agricultural Research Centre, Islamabad. All insecticidal treatments were very effective in avoiding complete plants mortality by red pumpkin beetle. Carbaryl dust + dung ash at 0.1:10 (a.i.) was helpful in reducing insecticidal use and also equally effective as rest of insecticides. However, 3 to 4 leaf stage cucumber plants when transplanted were equally effective in avoiding complete plant mortality. Dung ash application alone did not prove to be an effective method for avoiding red pumpkin beetle attack. Carbofuran and carbaryl dust were more effective in killing the red pumpkin beetle adults, which were found dead near plants.
