Abstract

The study was performed to evaluate the efficiency of Milletia ichthyochtona Drake solution on control of insect pests in cabbage crop. Milletia ichthyochtona Drake solution, Soap 0.1% was sprayed at 15, 35 and 45 days after transplanting. The effect of all treatments on cabbage growth was measured. The leaf number, head diameter, head weight and quality of cabbage vegetable were recorded. The efficiency of Milletia ichthyochtona Drake solution, Soap 0.1% on cabbage insect pests was measured. Results showed that sprayed with Milletia ichthyochtona Drake solution, Soap 0.1% was markedly reduced the number of days required for the cabbage growth. Moreover, sprayed with Milletia ichthyochtona Drake solution greatly enhanced the leaf number, head diameter, head weight, and quality of cabbage. Furthermore, sprayed Milletia ichthyochtona Drake solution have positive effects on pest reduction, and improve growth, yield and quality of cabbage vegetable.
