Abstract

Treatments of cucumber plant with jet application (foliar spray and root flood simultaneously) with Imidacloprid (Confidor 700 GRDA e Confidor 200 SC) eight days after plant germination were highly efficient in controling the Thrips palmi (Karny) until 29 days after insecticides application, with 83% • 97% of efficiency. These results were superior to the data obtained with methamidophos (standard insecticide) applied in foliar spray weekly.
