Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the Bio-efficacy of foliar spray of Econeem® Plus (Azadirachtin 10,000 ppm) formulation against Thrips in Rose. The influence of two concentrations of Econeem® Plus viz. 2.5 ml and 3 ml/L were tested with and without addition of Ecospread TM at the rate of 0.5 ml/L. The bio-efficacy results revealed that Econeem® Plus is effective against rose thrips and addition of Ecospread at 0.5 ml/L further improves the efficacy. The percentage reduction of thrips after 10 days of first and second spray of Econeem® Plus (3ml/L) in combination with Ecospread TM (0.5 ml/L) indicated 72.3% and 91.1% reduction of thrips population respectively over untreated control. The phytotoxicity study also reveals that the product is safe for rose plants and effectively controls the target pest i.e., rose thrips.
