SAFETY OF EMAMECTIN BENZOATE 5 SG TO PREDATORY SPIDERS INCOTTON ECOSYSTEM

摘要

Studies were conducted in the field to evaluate the emamectin benzoate 5 SG for safety to predatory spiders in cotton ecosystem. The results showed that emamectin benzoate 5 SG was found be safer to spiders at all concentrations (Emamectin benzoate 5SG at 7,9,11 and 15 g a.i. ha~(-1)) tested compared to standard spinosad. The highest spider population was recorded in plots treated with emamectin benzoate 5 SG at 7 g a.i. ha~(-1) followed by emamectin benzoate 5 SG at 9 and 11 g a.i. ha~(-1), respectively.
