Investigation of insecticidal properties of some boron-containing compounds on some pests of greenhouse cultivation

Abstract

This study was carried out to show the insecticide features of two different boroun compounds (tarimbor and boric acid) so as to control main pesticides to tomato in greenhouses in the southern west town Ortaca (Mugla), Turkey from 2009 to 2011. Besides, the effects on fauna and the productivity was also shown in the study. When it comes the dose, world Health Organization( WHO) limits were essential. (tarimbor 20,40, 80 ppm boric acid 2, 5, 10). Weekly applications and controls were done periodically. To see the beneficial fauna effects of boroun compounds, yellow sticky traps were set up in every lot in every single greenhouse nad countings were done. Seasonal tomato productions were listed to see the productiviy effect of the compounds. According to this study results,TarimBor the dose of 20 ppm of the compound by other compounds were recorded as first time addressing that it has more effective as both a fertilizer and pesticidal effect, no or a very low a negative effect that it has got an yor very effect on beneficial organisms and also contribute to the increased yield on tomatoes. In this sense, this is a study of such data is essential to gain the literature, has been the nature of a preliminary study. Absolutely, there is necessary too much more and more experiments whether TarimBor compound, which is similar to the compounds used very frequently against harmful organisms in the pesticide industry, such as copper and sulfur used in the sector, can be able to be used or not. Results of this study are important for the future such to keep a light.
