Abstract
ABSTRACT The acute toxicity of Spinosad, NSKE, horticultural mineral oil and entomopathogens at the recommended concentration was evaluated against pomegranate sucking pests like thrips, Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood, whitefly, Siphoninus phillyreae Haliday, two tailed mealy bug, Ferrisia virgata (Cockerell). The study revealed that among all treatments,spinosad 45% SC (0.0125%) were showing more mortality in thrips (53.33%), whitefly (55.55%) and mealy bugs (48.88%) followed by NSKE (5%) thrips (43.33%), whitefly (45.55%) and mealy bugs (42.22%). Azadirachtin 10000 ppm (0.02%) at 48 hours after treatment showed more percent mortality in thrips (40.83%), whitefly (41.11%) and mealy bugs (39.99%) respectively.
