Abstract
The citrus mealybug, Planococcus citri (Risso), is a serious pest of grape and citrus fruit trees in Syria. Field experiments were conducted in a grape orchard at Al-Moktariah area in the north of Homs region, Syria. The effect of various concentrations of Neem Azal®-T/S, as a natural insecticide, on the biological activity and mortality rate of immatures and adults of P. citri were studied at two different dates during the 2001 season. Results showed that Neem Azal®-T/S at a rate of 0.5% was highly effective on nymphs rather than adults (August in the season), the mortality rate on all insect stages of mealybug reached 86%. It was concluded that extract of Azadirachta indica A. Juss. is an effective component in IPM on a range of crops under Syrian conditions.
