Abstract:

Experiments were carried out at the Bacau Vegetable Research and Development Station Bacau between 2016 and 2019. The main pests in tomato crops were: common trip - Thrips tabaci Lind., corn earworm - Helicoverpa armigera Hbn. and Colorado beetle - Leptinotarsa decemliniata Say. For the control of tomato pests treatments with insecticide products for organic farming were applied: Konflic - 0.3%, ProBalance - 0.3%, Neem oil - 0.3%, Neemex - 0.3%, Bactospeine DF - 0.1%, Laser ™ 240 SC. The best results in the control of onion thrips were Laser ™ 240 SC - 0.04% with 98.5% efficiency. Konflic - 0.3%, Neemex - 0.3% and Bactospeine DF - 0.1% had an efficacy of over 92% in the control of corn earworm larvae, ages 1 - 3. The best effectiveness in control of Colorado potato beetle larvae, ages 1 - 2 had Konflic - 0.3% (95.1%) and Neem Oil - 0.3% (91.4%).
