Prospects for the Use of Pongamia pinnata Oil-Based Products against the Green Peach Aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer)‎ (Hemiptera: Aphididae)‎

الملخص EN

This study is devoted to an estimation of the action of preparations based on Pongamia pinnata oil on the life cycle (survival, fecundity) of green peach aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Hemiptera: Aphididae).

The M.

persicae is a widespread pest and damages more than 100 species of plants.

All test formulations had aphicidal activity for M.

persicae adults and larvae.

Moreover, they possess prolonged action, exerting a negative influence on the offspring.

The preparations differed in speed of onset of mortality.

The single treatment with these formulations provides significant reduction in the number of aphids during the observation period, because of the efficiency rising in time.
