Abstract
The red spider mite has become one of the most serious threats of brinjal in Northern India. It causes enormous economic loss during May-July. All the varieties and hybrids grown in Northern India have been found susceptible against red spider mite. In our country, acaricides have not been developed which kill eggs, nymphs and adults of red spider mite. Accordingly, we have identified the acaricide namely hexythiazox which kills the eggs, whereas another acaricide propargite which kills the nymphs and adults. Hexythiazox has ovicidal action while propargite has adulticidal action. Three applications of both the acaricides gave tremendous
impact on management of red spider mite and enhancement of production and profitability of brinjal in Dehradun, Uttarakhand.
