Abstract
Mite pests like Tetranychus urticae, T. ludeni, Eoteranychus
lewisi and Polyphagotarsonemus latus, insect pests like Bemisia
tabaci, Myzus persicae, Ferrisia sp. and diseases like root rot and
powdery mildew attacked gerbera plants maintained in polyhouse at Narendrapur
campus of Ramakrishna Mission Residential College, causing severe damage
leading to stunting of growth, reduction in flower size and numbers and
occasional death. The chrysanthemum plants were also attacked by T. urticae
and root rot. Application of hexithiazox (5.45 EC @1.25ml/1litre water) for
mites, imidacloprid (17.8 SL@3ml/10 L water) for insects and mancozeb (75% WP,
2g/1 lit water) and Neem oil + water for control of diseases, proved effective.
Most of the mite and insect pests were new reports for West Bengal on gerbera
plants. All the pests/diseases are listed including the damage/disease
symptoms, caused by those.
