Acetamiprid 20%, Chlorine- perphos ethyl 48%, Dimethoate 40%, Delta- permethrin 100q/l and summer oil were used as a foliar spray and control, Results showed that the efficacy of Acetamiprid, Chlorine- perphos ethyl and Dimethoate treatments were the best after the first and second week after spraying with Significant differences in comparative of Delta- permethrin and summer oil treatments, the efficacy of Chlorine- perphos ethyl was reduced with Significant differences with Acetamiprid and Dimethoate treatments in the third week after spraying. Using summer oil alone has made a recorded efficacy on females along period of three weeks after spraying.
