Abstract

Experiments were conducted in the experimental Horticulture Research Station at Qaha, Qalubiya governorate under greenhouse conditions during two successive seasons (2016-2017 and 2017-2018). The study aims to evaluated insecticides, orange oil and mineral oil alone and in binary mixtures, their relationship with crop yield under greenhouse. Bemisia tabaci (Genn.)and Tetranychus urticae Koch the most important pest were found on eggplant, the mealy bug Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley its new insect pest of eggplant (Solanum melanogena L.) these pests are attacking a wide spectrum of economic plants, causing greet losses in their yield. Results showed that using Actara binary mixtures with mineral oil or orange oil binary mixtures with mineral oil have a highly significant effect on decreasing pests population infesting eggplant growth and yield.  The insecticide binary mixtures with mineral oil have effect on pests population whereas decreased mean number of pests.  The insecticide binary mixtures with mineral oil were the most efficiency method compared to control (without treatment).
