Azadirachtin applications failed to reduce the damage caused by
Diaphania indica (Saunders) on bitter gourd (Momordica charantia
L.) reaching up to 16.57 % of damaged fruits (Nagaraju et al., 2018)
which is like what was obtained in this research. Field trials evaluating
various insecticide treatments conducted during the 2009 and 2010
production cycles of gherkin (Cucumis anguria L.) showed 16.8 and
17.7 % damaged fruits, respectively, when lambda-cyhalothrin was
applied which was lower than approximately 36 % fruit damage in
untreated plots (Balikai and Mallapur, 2017).
Conclusions
During the evaluated production cycles, the lowest populations of
B. tabaci were observed in plots treated with azadirachtin. Encarsia
nigricephala was the parasitoid species detected attacking B. tabaci
nymphs whose parasitism percentages were decreased with the use of
lambda-cyhalothrin + thiamethoxan.
The treatments applied showed no dierences in the reduction of
Diaphania spp. damage, as well as aphid and thrips populations in
the melon crop. Yields were signicantly higher in plots treated with
azaridactin, associated with lower populations of B. tabaci. Despite
the control exerted by azadirachtin on B. tabaci, there was a decrease
in productivity, which together with the damage caused by Diaphania
spp. suggests the importance of these pests, and other alternatives for
their management should be tested to reduce populations to levels
that do not aect yields and at the same time guarantee sustainable
production.
