In this study, life tables of Myzus persicae (Sulzer, 1776) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) individuals reared on pepper plant were formed after exposed to Gamma-T-Ol, Fungatol and Fungatol+Neem Sprey (50.0-001) extracts. Experiments for each treatment, and control group were designed as at least 25 replicates and conducted in a climatic chamber set to 25°C temperature, 65% relative humidity and 16:8 (L:D) photoperiod conditions. The data obtained from experiment were evaluated according to Euler-Lotka equation. The intrinsic rates (rm) of populations exposed to these extracts were calculated as 0.34, 0.33, 0.24, and 0.37 females/female/day, respectively. Longevities of these populations were determined 9.05, 10.88, 9.14, and 13.08 days, respectively. Consequently, Fungatol+Neem Sprey (50.0-001) was found as the most effective extract on reproductively and development of M. persicae. It is thought that the use of this plant extract in controlling the pest will provide an advantage in terms of biological control applications in integrated pest management concept. Further studies to be conducted on side effects of Fungatol+Neem Sprey (50.0-001) will be beneficial.
