Conclusion
It has been observed from the result that the plan t
origin commercial botanicals used in the experiment
had direct toxic effect against red spider mite infesting
tea. The tested biopesticides are commercia lly
available in the country and the planters may use these
biopesticides in tea pest management especially
for the control of red spider mite,
O. coffeae
in tea
in Bangladesh. Therefore, bio-rational pesticide based
integrated pest management should be emphasized so
that the plant extracts could be used for sustainable
crop protection and also gives idea for their better use
under IPM program ensuring a healthier pesticide-free
tea beverage.
