Abstract

Impact of insecticides on sucking insect pests of cucumber in greenhouse

Highlights

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus arises from Asian countries like Iran, L.) is a common vegetable and belongs to Turkey, Japan, Uzbekistan, and Iraq [4].the Cucurbitaceae family [1]
The maximum mean population was recorded in the control plot (13.05a) followed by Dimethoate (10.55ab), Acetamiprid (9.85b), Cypermethrin (8.55b), Imidacloprid (8.20b), and Bifenthrin (8.03b) before 24 hrs., respectively
Our findings have surety with [24] who examined that the Cypermethrin insecticide seen lowest reduction after 7 DAS. [21] mentioned that the Dimethoate insecticide (65.19%) reduction followed by Acetamiprid (53.89%) at 3 DAS. [25] reported that the Cypermethrin insecticide showed their impact on whiteflies after 10 days of spray

Summary

Introduction

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus arises from Asian countries like Iran, L.) is a common vegetable and belongs to Turkey, Japan, Uzbekistan, and Iraq [4].the Cucurbitaceae family [1]. Aphis gossypii is a most destructive insect pest and is found in tropical, subtropical, and temperate areas. It mostly attacks different vegetable leaves like eggplant, potato, tomato, and okra [13, 14]. A. gossypii transmits more than 50 plant viruses which reduce the production of crops and vegetables [15]. Many growers used different insecticides which reduce the high population of insect pests from field crops and vegetables [16]. The spray of Thiamethoxam and Imidacloprid insecticides have reduced the population of sucking insect pests in the field crops [17, 18]. The population of reduction % was calculated by using Abbott's formula [20]
