Rational Management of Yellow Mite, Polyphagotarsonemus Latus (Banks) on Mulberry
Arun Kumar K M [2] | N. Srinivasa [6]
Abstract: The experiment conducted for the rational management of yellow mite on mulberry, wherein synthetic acaricides and acaropathogens (as two applications at 15 days interval) were evaluated for their effectiveness against yellow mite at GKVK, Bengaluru during September, 2021. The pooled data recorded 3, 7, 10 and 14 days after each application indicated the superiority of spiromesifen[at]100 g ai/ha application, which resulted in 89 per cent reduction in mite population followed by dicofol[at]0.05% ai, abamectin[at]5g ai/ha, propargite[at]570 g ai/ha, diafenthiuron[at]400 g ai/ha, fenpyroximate[at]30g ai/ha and buprofezin[at]150 g ai/ha with 73 to 81 per cent control of mites. HMO[at]1 - 2% and hexythiazox[at]20g ai/ha treatments were modest (with 64 to 68% control) in their effectiveness. Least effective treatments were Fusarium semitectum[at]1x108 spores/ml and Lecanicillium lecanii[at]1x108 CFU's/ml with only 40 - 42 per cent control of mites.
