Abstract
There is growing interest in using eco-friendly plant oils in the field
of spider mite management due to the negative effects of synthetic chemical
acaricides on ecosystems and human health. The current study set out to examine
the effectiveness of Abamectin alone or in binary combinations with mineral oil
and jojoba oil against Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae)
under spider mite individuals under laboratory conditions. The findings
indicated that the most hazardous chemical against adults of T. urticae
was an emulsion of Abamectin and jojoba extract, followed by an emulsion of abamectin
and mineral oil. Mineral oil was the least toxicity and jojoba was in between.
The following, in decreasing order, were the effects of the examined compound
residues on egg deposition and egg hatching: Abamectin and jojoba emulsion>Abamectin
and mineral oil emulsion>Abamectin>jojoba extraction >mineral oil emulsion.
The findings of the current study show that jojoba extraction and mineral oil
emulsion improved abamectin's biological activity. Additionally, jojoba extraction
and mineral oil emulsions may be useful in integrated pest management
programmes as eco-friendly acaricides. Meanwhile the eggs of the pest lose the
ability to hatch when treated by the mineral oil but it have no a height rate
on both of reduction rate effect on adult individuals and females fertility. Meanwhile
jojoba extract led to a significant decrease in the egg hatching rate.
