This invention discloses a
traditional Chinese medicine compound preparation for the green control of citrus red spider mites, comprising principal, assistant,
adjuvant, and guiding herbs: the principal herbs include: 15-20 parts of
Veratrum nigrum and 15-20 parts of
Stemona japonica; the assistant herbs include: 10-15 parts of
Trichosanthes kirilowii, 10-15 parts of Melia toosendan, and 10-15 parts of
Zingiber officinale; the
adjuvant herbs include: 8-12 parts of
Cnidium monnieri, 8-12 parts of
Zanthoxylum bungeanum, and 8-12 parts of
Ginkgo biloba; the guiding herbs include: 5-10 parts of
Gleditsia sinensis, 5-8 parts of
Mentha haplocalyx, and 5-8 parts of
Glycyrrhiza uralensis. In the field of biological control of agricultural pests, the raw materials of
traditional Chinese medicine are locally grown
medicinal herbs with no chemically synthesized
pesticide residues. They have
low toxicity to mammals, birds, bees, and the main
natural enemies of citrus (adult predatory mites), and meet the standards of organic
agriculture and
green food production. The compound preparations are formulated according to the "principal, assistant,
adjuvant and guide" principle to exert a synergistic effect, and have comprehensive effects of contact killing,
stomach poisoning, repellency, and inhibition of
egg laying and
hatching. The field control
efficacy can reach more than 89%, and the rapid effect and the
duration of effect (10-15 days) are balanced.
