    STUDIES ON NON-CHEMICAL METHODS OF MANAGEMENT OF TEA PESTS AND USE OF PLANT BASED FORMULATIONS AGAINST RED SPIDER MITE
    (2022) Hazarika, Bidisha; Saikia, Gautam Kumar
    An investigation entitled “Studies on non-chemical methods for management of tea pests and use of plant based formulations against red spider mite” was carried out in the Experimental Garden for Plantation Crops (EGPC) and Department of Entomology, Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat during 2019-2021. The study was undertaken to survey non-chemical methods of management of red spider mite used by twenty small tea growers of Dibrugarh district of Assam and to study the efficacy of plant based formulations for management of red spider mite in-vitro. It was found that 45% of the small tea growers used cow urine with Ghora neem (Melia azedarach), Karanj (Pongamia glabra) and Pothorua bihlongoni Polygonum hydropiper combinations for management of red spider mite. Moreover, they also used bhoot jolokia (Capsicum chinense), sour curd, wheat flour in small quantities.
