Abstract | ||||
Mealybug lcetya seychellarum is considered one of the most important economic insect of mulberry trees. This insect pest causes serious problems to silk industry in Egypt. So, the present study is an attempet to test two local mineral oils (IQ-oil and CAPL-2) against this insect with Arimitsu sprayer compared with one of the recommended insecticides (Cidial), with two application rates 420,630 lit,/ fed. Biological date revealed that, application rate 420 lit./fed. of Cidial insecticide with pnuematic-rotary-atomization induced sufficient control against this insect. Droplet spectrum of deposited spraying with 420 lit./fed. were 158 spots/Cm2 having an average diameter (VMD) of 94 micrometer (pm). Next comes KZ-oil at the lower rate of application 420 lit./ fed. and droplet spectrum of deposited spraying was 138 spots/Cm2 having an average diameter of 103 pm. The lowest biological activity treatment resulted from CAPL-2 at the same rate of application. The droplet spectrum of deposited spray 143 spots/Cm2 having VMD of 99 pm. The best control result (90.8%) was achieved by Cidial insecticide using flow rate 420 lit./fed. higher rate of application (630 lit./ fed.) gave the next level of control result (77.2%) followed by KZ-oil which gave 76.5%, 72.1% reduction using lower and higher rates of application (420 lit./fed., 630 lit./led.), respectively. Similar trend was found with CAPL-2 where 69.6% and 63.8% were achieved by applying 420 lit./fed. and 630 lit./fed. successively. | ||||
