Effects Of Tank-Mixing Of Micronutrients And Amitraz By Foliar Application On Abundance Of Agonoscena Pistaciae In Pistachio Orchards, Mohammad Rouhani, Mohammad Amin Samih

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Fertilization is one of the effective factors on the common pistachio psylla Agonoscena pistaciae Burckhardt and Lauterer (Hem.: Aphalaridae) population. Fertilization has a central role in all metabolic processes, as well as in the cellular structure, cell wall structure, and growth of all organisms, and various pesticides are now used to control this pest, as well. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a pesticide (amitraz) mixed with micronutrients (Ca, Zn, and N) on the population density of A. pistaciae. We tested the effects of mixing pesticides and micronutrients on A. pistaciae in a pistachio orchard. …
