Abstract

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) is one of the most widely grown vegetables globally. Integrated pest management, which combines multiple control methods, is commonly used to tackle fruit fly infestation. The experiment conducted at Abdul Wali Khan University Mardan, Pakistan in 2022, evaluated the efficacy of Alphacypermethrin, Basil Extract, and a Control treatment against Atherigona orientalis in tomato cultivation. Using a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with five replicates, the study assessed the effects of these treatments on pest populations and tomato yield. Alphacypermethrin proved to be the most effective in reducing larval, pupal, and adult infestations, leading to a significant increase in healthy fruit yield. Basil Extract showed moderate effectiveness, while the Control treatment exhibited higher infestation rates and lower yield. These findings suggest Alphacypermethrin as a reliable pest control agent, with Basil Extract as a sustainable alternative or supplementary option within Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies. Future work should explore the integration of both treatments and evaluate their long-term environmental impacts.

Abstract

Aphid (A. gossypii) is the major pest of okra. It took the top position among all the vegetable pests. The study assessed the effectiveness of synthetic insecticides for controlling sucking insect pests and their natural enemies in okra cultivation. Conducted at the Agriculture University, Peshawar, the experiment employed a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with five treatments: Deltamethrin, Malathion, Lambda-Cyhalothrin, Emamectin Benzoate, and a control. Infestation levels were recorded before spraying and at regular intervals after application. Results showed that Emamectin Benzoate was the most effective, consistently achieving the lowest infestation levels compared to other treatments. It reduced infestation from 81.75 before spraying to 43.53 after 15 days. It also resulted in the highest yield (3,900.59 kg/ha), outperforming other insecticides, such as Deltamethrin (2,978.56 kg/ha), Malathion (2,888.44 kg/ha), and Lambda Cyhalothrin (2,505.55 kg/ha). The control group had the lowest yield (526.70 kg/ha). Emamectin Benzoate also supported the growth of beneficial ladybird beetles, particularly Coccinella transversalis and C. septempunctata, whose populations peaked in week 3. Emamectin Benzoate was the most effective insecticide for managing sucking pests and improving yield in okra cultivation, supporting its role in integrated pest management strategies.
