Abstract

ABSTRACT Preventive control experiments were laid out during May,1989 against termites attacking eucalypts sapling at Ratta Kulachi (D. I. Khan) and Peshawar Forest institute, Peshawar with BHC WP 12.5% BHC 10% dust, Sevin 85%WP and Malathion 57% EC applied in 0.06,0.12 and 0.25% dilution in four replications keeping five plants in each treatment. A total of 243 plants were found dead at D. I. Khan during the period of experiment out of which termite damage was recorded on 27 plants only. At Peshawar mortality of plants was less than that at D. I. Khan. A total of 175 plants died over a period of a year and half which is only 20% of the total number of plants at this site. There was no termite damage to the plants at Peshawar.
