Kaur, Sandeep | Srinivasan, R.
Field trials were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of an organic salt (Lastraw³) and an oil based formulation of Beauveria bassiana (Myco-Jaal³) against aphid, thrips and broad mite on sweet pepper under net-house conditions in Punjab, India. Both these compounds at higher doses reduced the aphid population by 67.13% - 68.52%, compared to the untreated control. They also reduced the thrips population by 80% - 84%. Only Lastraw® was found to be more effective in reducing the damage caused by broad mite than Myco-jaal at higher temperature condition in net-house in May-June. The yield was highest at higher dose of Sulfex treatment, followed by the highest dose of Myco-jaal³. The benefit cost ratio was also higher for Sulfex treatments, followed by Myco-jaal³ at higher doses.
