Acaricidal efficiency of solar 50 % new emulsifiable concentrate formulation against the two-spotted spider mite (TSSM) Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) under laboratory and greenhouse conditions

Oils are some of the most efficient and secure alternatives to synthetic fungicides, acaricides insecticides used as pesticides for decades. Around world, mineral oils a potential pesticide against many pests. To provide novel active ingredients new formulations industry, major goal this research was formulate one petroleum fractions test its acaricidal efficiency two-spotted spider mite (TSSM), Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae). Solar's physical features were put test. Then, it prepared an emulsifiable concentrate following guidelines provided by specialized organizations kind formulation. The formulation subsequently biologically tested T. adults in lab, demonstrated good activity with LC50 4548 ppm. Under greenhouse conditions, also immature, (males females) number deposited eggs. There direct correlation all stages between concentration, percentage immature adult mortality, egg-hatching inhibition. In case 100% mortality shown after 7 days treatment. However, males females, 3 Additionally, 14 from treatment, entirely stopped egg depositing. might be applied manage TSSM.
