| Abstract: | Comparative studies on the influence of sprinkler irrigation and chemical control on Tetranychid mites infesting peanutThe application of water to peanut plants using sprinkler irrigation systems showed a depressing effect on mite densities. Since the upper surface of the leaves are appreciably wetted, few numbers ofT arabicus (Attiah) andT. cucurbitacearum (Sayed) inhabit only the lower leaves surface. Data showed that spider mite populations on sprinkled plot were lower than those on acaricide treated plot and control plot. |
