Efficacy of a novel phytopesticide against Thrips tabaci, an insect pest on onion
Journal Title: Annals of Plant Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Onion is an important crop cultivated as vegetable. Onion thrips is a key insect pest in most of the onion production regions of the world. A new biopesticide prepared from the crude leaf extracts of ten plants in cow urine was evaluated for their efficacy against Thrips tabaci. The biopesticide was tested in agricultural field on onion plants in varying concentrations and was found to be highly efficient in eradicating the thrips in an eco-friendly manner.
