Melon fruit fly Myiopardalis pardalina (Diptera: Tephritidae) is one of the important pests of melon and cantaloupe in the melon farms of the Iran and its activity causes a decrease in the quantity and quality of the crop yields. Identification and use of resistant cultivars can be effective in control and reducing the damage of this pest. In the present study, the sensitivity of four melon cultivars (Sefidak, Firoozi99, Khatooni, and Helmindi) was investigated to damage of M. pardalina. Also, skin thickness and length of the fruiting period of these cultivars were evaluated. The lowest damage was observed in Sefidak and Firoozi99 cultivars (the average of damage is 18-20%). A positive correlation was observed between the fruiting period of the plant and the amount of pest damage, while there was no correlation between the skin thickness and the amount of pest damage. Based on the obtained results, Sefidak and Firoozi99 cultivars, as cultivars with relatively low damage, can be used in the integrated pest management program in melon farms in Sistan region.
