Abstract

This study assessed how the tank mixing of the commercially available acaricides and insect growth regulators affect the yellow mite, Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks) in chilli ecosystem under West Bengal condition. The data generated suggest that tank mixing of dicofol with IGR's like clofentezine and flufenzin do not affect the efficacy in controlling the yellow mite in chilli ecosystem under West Bengal context.
