- Abstract
This article discusses several insecticides used to control cyclamen mite on cyclamen and strawberries. The cyclamen mite is known to be a serious pest of many ornamental plants including cyclamen, saint paulia, gerbera, ivy and begonia. It is also troublesome in some years on field strawberries. In this study, sprays of fluoroacetamide, endrin and Thiodan gave good control of cyclamen mite in trials on cyclamen and strawberry in 1960. In one trial, Kelthane at 0.04 per cent gave promising results on strawberries. Repeated applications of 0.025 per cent Kelthane on cyclamen under glass also gave good results. Eradex has showed promising results in one trial on strawberries.
