Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I have been having issues with my cucumbers and zuccini squash. They bear fruit, nice 12" cucumbers and zucs, but when I slice them they are full of white maggot like worms. I watched the fruits of both plants and finally caught the bug that is stinging the fruits. You can see below the bug the scab where they were stung. Many time they will get stung whaen tehy are only an inch or two, turn brown and then drop. Look inside and it will have the white worms.
Can someone identify what is ruining my beautiful vegis. And a help/cure so I can enjoy my vegis, not the bugs and worms.

white maggots sounds like some kind of fruit fly. in ap your best option is exclusion bags, literally a wax paper or fine mesh bag that keeps the flies off the fruit.
even outside of AP it's tough to beat fruit flies without decent chemical support.
