Abstract | ||||
The effect of three mineral oils; Star oil, Shokrona oil and Shokrona Super, as well as Vertimec (abamectin 1.8% E.C., natural product produced by the soil microorganism, Streptomyces avermitis) and Di-thane M-45, against the citrus rust mite Phyllocoptruta oleivora and the citrus brown mite, Eutetranychus orientalis was evaluated. Results indicated that Dithane M-45 was the most effective compound in reducing citrus rust mite population and produced the least percentage of russetted fruits. Vertimec came next, followed by Shokrona Super, Star oil then Shokrona oil. Vertimec was the most toxic compound against the citrus brown mite followed by Shokrona Super, Star oil then Shokrona oil. | ||||
