Abstract: MOJICA. ALMIRA E. April 1996. Efficacy of Selected Botanical Pesticides Against Insect Pests of Asparagus. Thesis, BSA Crop Protection, Entomology, Department of Crop Protection, School of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Natural Resources, Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite. Thesis Adviser: Dr. Josefina Rodil Rint. The experiment was conducted Experimental Station of Research Center from January to May 1996. This study aimed to determine the effectivity of selected botanical pesticides against insects pests of asparagus and to know the effect of botanical to beneficial arthropods of plants. Twenty-eight arthropods were associated with asparagus. Of these eighteen (18) were pests and (10) were predators. The eleven (11) chewers consisted of (7) lepidopterous, two (2) orthopterous and two (2) coleopterous pests. The suckers consisted of five (5) homopterous and two (2) hemipterous pests. Neem, makabuhai, wild sunflower and madre de cacao extracts were effective against chewers like green semi-looper, tussock moth, cutworms, lymantrids, katydid, brown grasshoppers and flea beetles., Leaffolders and brown semi-loopers were not affected by any botanical. Lagundi extracts were effective against the suckers like preen leafhoppers and mealybug. Mirid bugs were most repelled by makabuhai extracts, while aphids were most affected by madre de cacao sunflower.>neem extracts. Neem and wild sunflower extracts can collectively control asparagus pests by 49% and 50% respectively. Botanicals have no harmful effect on natural enemies.
