Abstract
Survey was conducted on the greater melon fly Dacus frontalis (Becker)
associated with cucurbits in Libya. This study was conducted in 99 sites
distributed along the eastern, western, southern and central regions of Libya,
during 2001 and 2002. The study showed that Dacus frontalis is widely
spread in all cucurbit orchards of the surveyed area of western and southern
regions, moderately distributed in central region, and least abundant in eastern
regions. The results showed that the infestation was recorded on seven cucurbit
species (Citrullus lanatu, Cucumis melo (L.), Cucurbita
pepo (L.), Cucumis sativus (L.), Cucumis melo var.
flexuosus, Cucurbita moschata, and one wild species, Citrullus
colocynthis and one species, Solanum melonena (L.), was recorded as a
new host for the first time.
