Abstract
The palm mite, Raoiella indica Hirst is a common and widespread pest of arecanut in India attaining serious proportions especially during the hot summer months. A field trial was conducted at Central Plantation Crops Research Institute, Regional Station, Vittal, Karnataka to evaluate the efficacy of four pesticides viz., dicofol. dimethoate, formothion and phosphamidon at 0.05% and 0.025% concentration in controlling the population of the pest. It was found that dicofol 0.05%. dimethoata 005Yo and 0.025%, formothion 0.05% and phosphamidon 0-05% gave significant control of the mite population.
