The present investigations were conducted on five pruning time i.e. 15th May, 15th June, 15th July, 15th August, 15th Sept. and no pruning (control) with seven different genotypes such as RHR-Guv-58, RHRGuv-60, RHR-Guv-14, RHR-Guv-16, RHR-Guv-3, RHR-Guv-6 and Sardar. The results revealed that the significantly minimum fruit fly infested fruits (9.94 %) was noted in P5 treatment (15th September pruning), which was at par with P4 (15th August pruning) treatment (11.87 %) and the maximum infestation (48.15 %) in P6 (Control) un-pruned treatment.
