Per cent infestation of Nagpur mandarin fruits by citrus thrips was significantly less at dose 2.5% (6.2% -32.6% infested fruits) than 1.0 %, 0.5 % and 0.1% (11.2 â 65.6% infested fruits) but was on par with the doses 1.5 %, 2.0 % (7.5 â 10.0% infested fruits) during 2009 and 2.0 % (10.12-38.0% infested fruits) during 2010 and 2011. In case of rust mite, % infestation of Nagpur mandarin fruits was significantly less at dose 2.5% (8.1-14.8% infested fruits) than other treatments (20.0 - 55.8% infested fruits) but was on par with the dose 2.0 % (10.3-16.6% infested fruits). As citrus thrips and rust mites occurred together on citrus fruits, a spraying schedule using Mak All Season HMO @ 2.0% to simultaneously control both pests can now be developed based on the present investigation.
