Abstract
Present studies were carried out on chemical control of mushroom mites (Tarsonimidae) at different time intervals and concentrations of Dicofol, Abamectin and Hexythiazox. The acaricides used included dicotol 18.5 EC with three concentrations (1.5ml/L, 2.0ml/L, and 2.5mI/L), abamectin 1.8 EC (1.5ml/L, 2.0ml/L, and 2.5mI/L) and hexythiazox 10WP (0.25g/L, 0.35g/L and 0.45g/L). All the acaricides used gave significant reduction in the mite's population and gave satisfactory results as compared to untreated check. On numerical basis the highest mites population suppression (92.37%) was recorded by the application of dicofol 18.5 EC with 2.5ml/L after 72 hours, followed by (92.29%) and (75.91 %) with abamectin 1.8 EC with 2.5ml/L after 72 hours and hexythiazox 10 WP with 0.35g/L after 72 hours. Key words: Mushroom mite, chemical control, acaricides and wheat straw compost.
