RELATIVE EFFICIENCY OF SALICYLIC ACID, DECIS EXPERT AND SIVANTO PRIME AND THEIR COMBINATIONS IN CONTROLLING OF MYZUS PERSICAE (SULZER) ON BROCCOLI

Abstract

An experiment was conducted with Randomized Complete Block Design in the Ramadi city during the season 2020 - 2021 to study the effect of the Decis Expert, Sivanto Prime insecticides, Salicylic acid, and the combination of them to control Myzus persica ((Sulzer), which is one of the important insects that infect the broccoli crop Brassica oleracea var. Italica. The study showed that all tested concentrations of Salicylic acid combination with pesticides gave effective results after periods of treatment, an increase in the efficiency of pesticides against the insect and some growth and chemical characteristics of the broccoli crop when compared with the treatment with pesticides alone. This can be a good economic orientation for reducing the recommended rate and its reflection on environmental effects.
