Field Control Effect and Initial Mechanism: A Study of Isobavachalcone against Blister Blight Disease.

Blister blight (BB) disease is caused by the obligate biotrophic fungal pathogen Massee and seriously affects the yield and quality of . The use of chemical pesticides on tea leaves substantially increases the toxic risks of tea consumption. Botanic fungicide isobavachalcone (IBC) has the potential to control fungal diseases on many crops but has not been used on tea plants.

Demographic Evaluation of the Control Potential of (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) Preying on (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) at Different Temperatures.

Tea thrips ( Priesner) are the main pests that seriously affect the yield and quality of tea, resulting in huge economic losses. The is one of the most important natural enemies or BCA of thrips. However, we are not concerned with its predation ability on tea thrips, nor thermal influence on this pattern and their interaction.
