Abstract

The mite Potyghagotarsonemus latus (Banks, 1904) is known as an important pest of cotton plant in many regions in Brazil. In order to determine the efficiency of the acaracide pyridathioben to control the tropical mite, a field experiment, was carried out in Santa Helena, State of Goiás, Brazil. The treatments and dosage of the products per hectare were: pyridathioben (1.7 1; 2.5 1 and 3.4), omite (1.5 1) and cascade (0.6 1). Evaluations were made at 3, 8, 14 and 24 days after treatment sampling 5 leaves with symptoms in each repetition and counting number of mites found at an area of 0.7 cm2. The results showed that pyridatioben was the best acaricide showing a control efficiency of about 90%, at smaller dosage, until 24 days after treatment applications.
