Abstract

Phytophagous mites are serious pests on crops, fruits and vegetables and frequently cause considerable losses in plant yields. The field experiment was conducted to evaluate the newer acaricides against Tetranychus urticae on brinjal plants in the University of Agricultural Sciences, GKVK, Bangalore during 2013. All the tested acaricides affected the two mites survival. In propargite (0.78 mites/leaf) and spiromesifen (1.05 mites/leaf) reduced the overall mite population more significantly than other acaricides with in three days of application and this will leads to corresponding increase in higher fruit yield. Buprofezin, spiromesifen and HMO treated plots quit safe to predatory mite population.
