Abstract

The efficiency of five sprays of fungal insecticide Biofly applied at two rates 100 and 50 m1/100m1 of water on the different stages of whitefly infesting tomato plants compared with five recommended insec­ticides; Selecron, Osbac, Admire, Actellic and Reldane was investigated at Etay El-Baroud Agric. Research Station, El-Behera Governorate, during July-September, 1995. The obtained results revealed that, the compound can be used successfully to reduce the three whitefly stages using 100 m1/100L of water without causing any hazard to the plants and natural enemies. Therefore, Biofly is considered useful for 1PM programs to reduce envi­ronmental pollution on mammals.
