Abstract
In population dynamics of fruit fly on sponge gourd fruits started in the second week of September (11.33 %) i.e. six weeks after sowing of the crop and increased gradually. The infestation reached to its peak in the third week of October (43.98 %) and then declined gradually. Significant correlation was computed between fruit fly and maximum temperature. Correlation between fruit fly and minimum temperature, bright sunshine hours was non-significant. Negative non-significant correlation was computed between fruit fly and average relative humidity, rain fall.
