• Heavy infestation caused by red pumpkin beetle starting from the emergence of cucurbit crops to harvesting mainly cause yield reduction. Sever infestation may cause failure of crop emergence. Experiment was designed to have an appropriate control strategy by the integration of different control measures. Treatment included Carbaryl as dust application, Neem Seed Kernel Extract (NSKE) as botanical, Yellow Sticky Traps (YST) as mechanical control. Sheikhupura (SHK) landrace of Indian snap melon was used as host. Experiment was laid out according to RCBD. This landraces was grown in Faisalabad, Sargodha and Multan districts and similar control techniques were applied in each district. Application Carbaryl + NSKE + YST in single plot was most acceptable control module which show minimum population in Faisalabad (2.46), Sargodha (2.49) and Multan (2.49) district and also minimum infestation was recorded in the same treatment in Faisalabad (8.57), Sargodha (8.57) and Multan (8.36) district. Temperature variations were non-significant among three districts, so the population was not affected by the temperature across the different ecological regions.
