Abstract :
Euphyllura olivine (Costa) (Hom., Aphalaridae) is the most important pest of olive trees - which has recently caused a lot of damage to these trees in urban green space. One of the components of integrated control of this pest is the use of pesticides. Due to the dangers of the use of chemical pesticides in urban green space, it seems necessary to study the effect of low-risk compounds. In this study, the effect of Salpi plant pesticide based on the eucalyptus essential oil and biodegradable polymers prepared from the pesticide research department of the Phytosanitary Research Institute of Iran with a dose of 3 per thousand in comparison with 60% diazinon toxin with a dose of 2 per thousand in 10 repetitions in the green space of Tehran 17 was sprayed. Sampling was performed one day before foliar application, and 3, 7, 14 and 21 days after. The results showed the percentage of the effect of these two compounds on nymphs and adult insects after 3 days in Salpi on nymphs was 98.29% and on adult insect was 94.19% and diazinon on nymphs was 94.35% and on adult insect was 97.61. Although Salpi pesticide was used with a relatively higher dose than diazine, due to its lower price and environmental friendliness, it can be a good alternative to chemical pesticides in urban green space.
