A thesis research was conducted at Gokuleshwor, Baitadi to evaluate the management practices of Aulacophora foveicollis on (Lucas, 1849) on cucumber during Kharif season in 2021. Field experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 7 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments were: 1) Controlled. 2) Net barrier. 3) Cypermethrin. 4) Chloropyrifus. 5) Cypermethrin + Chloropyrifus. 6) Nimbicide. 7) Jholmol. Each plot consists of 3 m × 3 m (9 m2). Field experiment showed that highest reduction of Aulacophora foveicollis (Lucas, 1849) was observed in net barrier followed by cypermethrin + chloropyrifus and then cypermethrin, but these three treatments were statistically at par during almost all the spray times. Thus, net barrier might be the best option in management of Aulacophora foveicollis (Lucas 1849).
