Eco-friendly management of yellow mite (Polyphagotarsonemus latus) on chilli crop

The present investigation was summarized and carried out in 2006 to know the activities of synthetic and botanical pesticides against Yellow Mite (Polyphagotarsonemus latus) on chilli crop under field conditions. The crop was treated with sulphur 80% WP (0.25%), phosalone 35% EC (0.07%), propargite 57% EC (0.18%), ethion 50% EC(0.05%), abamectin 1.9% EC(0.014%), nitrogen + sulphur (mitex-S), azadiractin 0.03% EC (0.0015%), neem oil pure (2ml), NSKE (5ml) and water. The synthetic botanical and microbial pesticides under field condition was evaluated after 1, 3, 7 and 14th days after treatment. The overall performance of eco-friendly was observed propargite activities maximum 78.11% reduction of test mite, followed by abamactin 74.36%, phosalone 67.65%, sulphur 66.46% and ethion 64.33%. Whereas, azadiractin activities moderate reduction 52.58%, followed by nitrogen + sulphur (mitex?S) 50.34% and NSKE 47.93%. Water activities least reduction 6.73%, followed by neem oil 33.72%.
