| Abstract | ||||
| An experiment was carried out at a greenhouse of the Vegetable Research Department-Horticulture Research Institute at Dokki-Giza during 2006 and 2007 years. Five micronutrients i.e. Boric acid 85%, Borax 80%, Cupric oxide Wt 79.5% Magnesium Sulphate 98% and Sulfur SC 7.5% (as a commercial product) were used at two rates; the first 10grm. /1 liter of water, and the second 5grm./1 liter of water for the first 4 compounds in comparison with the commercial product, Del mite SC 7.5% with recommended rate 1 cm3/1 liter of water and a second rate 0.5% cm3/1 of liter water against the three Strawberry pests; Tetranychus urticae Koch, Aphis gossypii Glover, and Thrips tabaci Lind. on strawberry plants. The highest reduction comparing with control in motile stages of T. urticae in Del mite treatment was (60.99 and 12.600) at the first rate, while, it was (69.50 and 18.77) at the second rate, followed by Boric acid (56.26 and 11.10), Borax (51.18 and 9.95), Cupper (42.79 and 7.95) and Magnesium (34.28 and 5.06) at the first rate in 2006 and 2007 years, respectively. A significant difference between control (untreated) and the four other treatments was found. | ||||
