Abstract

Field studies were undertaken at K.V.K Research Farm, Mandsaur, M.P. to study the Bio-efficacy of newer Acaricides and Botanical against red spider mite during 2020-2021. During the course of investigation Spiromesifen 22.90 % SC @ 400 ml/ha found most effective treatment and it recorded the lowest (2.74) adults followed by Fenazaquin 10 % SC @ 400 ml/ha (3.16) and Fenpropathrin 30 % EC @ 250 ml/ha (3.56) but superior to control (12.25) during both years. The data of percentage increase in yield over untreated control obtained with application of Spiromesifen 22.90 % SC @ 400 ml/ha recorded the highest 34.42 % increase over untreated control. Selection of specific acaricides for the control of red spider mites is difficulties, so that these studies are helpful for the selection of acaricides in Malwa region for the control of red spider mites.

Conclusion

The efficacy of different acaricides was tested against red spider mite, T. urticae infesting brinjal under the field conditions. Among all the available acaricides, the treatment comprise with Spiromesifen 22.90 % SC @ 400 ml/ha was found most superior and higher marketable fruit yield of brinjal and it was followed by Fenazaquin 10 % SC @ 400 ml/ha and Fenpropathrin 30 % EC @ 250 ml/ha.
