EFFICACY OF NEW ACARICIDES AGAINST RED SPIDER MITE, Tetranychus urticae KOCH (ACARINA, TETRANYCHIDAE) ON BRINJAL

摘要

Field experiments were conducted during the summer season of 2006-07 and 2007-08 at experimental research farm of Institute of Pesticide Formulation Technology, Gurgaon, India, to evaluate the efficacy of two new acaricides viz., Propargite 57EC (Omite) @ 750, 1000 and 2000 ml/ha, Fenpyroximate 5EC @ 100,200 and 500 ml/ha against red spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch on brinjal. Propargite 57EC (Omite) @ 1000 ml/ha and Fenpyroximate 5EC @ 500 ml/ha was found significantly at par in reducing mitepopulation and remained effective till 15 days after sprays on brinjal crop.
