Abstract
An Aleurodicus dispersus has become one of the most serious pests of guava in Bangladesh. The study on seasonal abundance in different months indicated that the maximum whitefly population occurred during March 2016 to November 2017. Comparison the effectiveness of application of water, detergent and smoke, it was found that spraying of detergent on the twigs reduced the number of whiteflies significantly. Study of chemical control on whitefly to reduce the population at different stages revealed that Diazinon at the dose of 0.18% reduced the whitefly population (> 90%) significantly after 3, 7, 15 and 30 days of spraying which is similar with the dose of 0.18%. a.i. of Malathion 57EC which caused a good reduction of whitefly adults and nymphs for several days of time interval. Both insecticides were effective and persistent when applied at higher dose to A. dispersus. Therefore, among the treatments the spray at 0.18% concentration of Malathion and Diazinon was the best in controlling the whitefly.
Key Words: Guava, White fly, Control, Malthion and Diazinon
