Abstract

In order to identify and select botanical products to control white flies in the melon cultivation, the effectiveness of two organic products in relation to a chemical indicator was evaluated. The products were applied once a week and data was collected two days after each application. The two botanical treatments presented the highest numerical values in comparison to Bemisia tabaci vs the chemical ingredient, and this resulted in a significant statistical difference between treatments. The treatment Neem X is a more effective and does not affect the phenology of plants in comparison to Rescue control, but instead the Neem (Azadirachta indica) has not been the first botanicar insecticide commercially used, but it has had a high impact in the crops including melón. (Cucumis melo).
