| Abstract | ||||
| The efficiency of five sprays of the Juvenile hormone mimic, Admiral. (Pyriproxfen) were applied at the recommended rate and diluted to half and quarter rate, on the different developmental stages, (eggs, immatures and adults) of the whitefly infesting tomato plant at the late season of 1995. The results were compared with five recommended chemical insecticides, namely Selecron, Osbac, Admire, Actellic and Reldan. The results indicated that Admiral, at its recommended dose was as good as the different insecticides used in the control of white-flies and decrease virus symptoms, and thus can be integrated in lPM program. | ||||
