- Abstract
This paper is a review of the literature in recent years that focuses on the determination of the main pests in the cucurbitaceous cultures in the world and Romania. Following the investigation, the distribution of pests according to the frequency of appearance showed the presence of 63 world species belonging to eight orders (Acari, Choleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera. Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Orthoptera and Thysanoptera). In Romania, there have been described in the literature, in recent years, 7 major pests of cucurbitaceous crops that are part of 5 orders (Acars, Hemiptera, Thysanoptera, Colestera and Diptera). The use of predators, parasites, pathogens in the biological control of cucumbers is a challenge, but there are also many successful examples of biological control.
