Amongst forty six chilli germplasms screened against yellow mite bcch-Sl-4 was found to be the least susceptible to yellow mite (1.5 mite/leaf) followed by Sb-6-2-1 (2.8 mite/leaf). dS-1-2 (16.50 mite/leaf) and Fl-1-2 (13.50 mite/leaf) were most susceptible against yellow mite. the highest yield was also obtained from bcch-Sl-4 (8.40 t/ha). Application of dicofol 18.5 ec @ 2.5 ml/lit., spiromesifen 22.9% ec @ 1 ml/lit and diafenthiuron 1g/lit was significantly superior to other treatments.
