Conclusion

Results of present investigation proved that botanical insecticide i.e. Amrut Milliquit @ 2ml/lit can be effectively used in the management of mealy bugs with the combination of chlorpyriphos.

Use of Amrut milliquit separately are also found effective in the management of mealy bug at primary stage of infestation.
