Abstract:An experiment entitled “Bioefficacy of acaricides against two spotted spider mites infesting rose under polyhouse condition” was conducted during 2021 with six treatments, replicated thrice, in the polyhouse of horticulture section, college of Agriculture Phaltan, (Maharashtra).
The treatments comprised of six acaricides buprofezin 25 EC, propargite 57 EC, fenpyroximate 5 EC, flufenoxuron 10 DC, difenthiuron 50 WP, dimethoate 30 EC and untreated control, respectively. All the acaricidal treatments found superior over untreated control for management of rose mites. The treatment with fenpyroximate 5 EC found most superior for the management of rose mites and the efficacy of acaricides for the management of rose mites was as follows flufenoxuron 10 DC, propargite 57 EC, buprofezin 25 EC, diafenthiuron 50 WP and dimethoate 30 EC, respectively.
