Determination effects of some classical and nano formulated plant-based insecticides on Nesidiocoris tenuis (Reuter) (Hemiptera: Miridae)

Nesidiocoris tenuis (Reuter) (Hemiptera: Miridae), who is found widely in Mediterranean countries and is made to release of greenhouse, is a significant predator species to control of pests such as whiteflies, gallery flies, Tomato leafminers, thrips and mites. In this study, the effects of plant-based of two formulations, nano formulation which is minimized the negative properties according to old formulations and protected existing positive characteristics with classical formulation were determined comparatively against Nesidiocoris tenuis. In a study conducted in this regard, classic and nano-formulations of (neem and tea tree) plant-based of preparations were determined side effects on Nesidiocoris tenuis adult, nymph and egg production. According to the results, all plant-based preparations have been found ineffective against Nesidiocoris tenuis adult and nymphal individuals. However, plant-based of nano formulations preparations have been affected Nesidiocoris tenuis eggs production more than plant-based of classical formulations preparations.
