Document Description
Field experiments were conducted to study the effect of mixture botanical water extract of
" capsicum + ginger "and" garlic + black pepper" with boiled linseed oil prepared as emulsifiable concentrate
for controlling whiteflies Bemisia tabaci and aphids on squash leaves. The first boiled linseed oil formula
contained capsicum and ginger extract, the second contained garlic and black pepper extract and the third was
boiled linseed oil only. Each formula was tested at concentrations of "1.5%, 2.5% and 3.5%".Also 2.5%
concentration of each formula was mixed with half the recommended rate of chlorpyrifos-methyl (CPM) "Reldan
50 % EC" which they has been mixed with boiled water "botanical extract" dilution. In the field all practiced
formulations were compared with control and chlorpyrifos-methyl at recommended and half concentrations.
In Water dilution four plants were boiled in first "capsicum + ginger" was boiled with cone. 1.7 % w/v and mixed
with 1 ** formula in field and second water dilution" garlic + black pepper "was boiled with cone. 1.7 % w/v and
mixed with 2,á formula in field, 3rd formula was mixed with normal water in field and insecticide full and '/2 rate
was mixed with normal water also in field. In the laboratory experiments were conducted on eggs and immature
stages. In the field experiment was conducted in November, 2006 and average number of insects was calculated
per leaf for plants before spraying and after 1, 3, 5, 7 days from spraying. All the tested solutions of plant oil
were passed successfully the emulsifibility test. The results revealed that all the tested materials exhibited
reasonable insecticidal activity against all stages of whitefly. The best treatment against whitefly eggs was 2.5%
from the third formulation + '/2 Reldan rate recorded 93.3 % reduction. The highest reduction percentage of
whitefly nymphs was recorded with 2.5 % from the second formulation + '/2 Reldan rate (100 % reduction). The
best treatment against whitefly adults was noticed with 2.5% from the first formulation combined with '/2 Reldan
rate which recorded 87.0% reduction. It has been no improvement when adding ginger and glue to capsicum
against whitefly adult stage in 11 / 2006 season compared with 11/ 2005 season, on the contrary for ginger and
glue there has been improvement when adding black pepper and glue to garlic against whitefly adult stage in
season 11/ 2006 compared by season 11/ 2005 by more than 20%, adding the glue for oil increased efficiency
against whitefly adult stage in season 11 / 2006 compared by season 11 / 2005., All treatments achieved excellent
results against aphids. Data also showed that the highest average weight for 3 squash plants with fruits was
recorded at the treatment of 2.5 % from the third formulation (750 g) indicating 78.6, 130.6 and 30.4% over the
control, Reldan (full rate) and '/2 Reldan rate, respectively. And there is improvement and advantage in boiling
plants with field water dilution against whitefly adult stage. There is convergence between the results of
laboratory and field "in most treatments". The full rate of insecticide caused scorching to the treated leaves and
decreased the growth but half rate does not scorching leaves.
