| Abstract | Field experiments were conducted in Research Farm o f Agricultural University, Peshawar, Pakistan during 2007-09 to develop IPM package for green pea ch phid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer) on potato crop ha ving minimum adverse effects on ladybird beetle. The pop ulation means of ladybird beetles per 10 plants sho wed significant effect (P < 0.05) for potato varieties (3.1 on Desiree and 3.6 on Kuroda), foliar insectic ides (2.9 on Actara and 3.8 on Provado), and foliar insecticide oses (0.9 on labeled dose, 2.7 on reduced dose and 6.5 on zero dose). Both the insecticides at either dosage ignificantly reduced the ladybird beetle populatio n as compared to Zero dose (6.53). However, plants treated with P rovado reduced dose had significantly higher popula tion of ladybird beetles (3.63) as compared to Actara reduc dose (1.67), Provado labeled dose (1.17) and Act ara labeled dose (0.63) that did not differ statistical ly. On average; the yield in tons/hec was significa ntly higher from Kuroda (13.2) as compared to Desiree (11.6); Provad o treated plants (12.9) as compared to Actara (12.0 ); and labeled (13.4) or reduced (13.4) doses as compared zero doses (10.5). The tuber yield obtained from th e plants treated with Provado reduced doses (14.07) and Prov ad labeled doses (13.95), both being statistically equal, was significantly higher than Actara reduced doses (12. 8 ) and Actara labeled doses (12.79). |
