Abstract

Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) is an important spice and cash crop in many countries of the world. An overall reduction in the yield of chilli due to arthropod pests was experienced upto 77%. The bioassay studies were investigated the field efficacy of botanicals against Thrips (Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood), Cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii Glover) and Yellow mite (Polyphagotarsonemus latus Banks). The botanicals Mahua oil @ 5%, pungam oil soap flakes @ 5%, leaf powders of green chirayta @ 5% and lippia @ 5%, nimbicidin (1500ppm) were tested against sucking pest in the chilli field. The result revealed that lippia @ 5% and mahua oil @ 5% showed better effect against sucking pest in chilli.
