Abstract
Field tests were conducted to evaluate the effect of a predacious anthocorid, Orius sp. on populations of pests on eggplant using the insecticidal check method in 1987. The population of Orius sp. in the treated plot was lower than that in the untreated plot. The population of Thrips pakni KARNY and Tetranychus kanzawai KISHIDA was higher in the treated plot. These results suggest that Orius sp. is effective in reducing the population of these pests on eggplant.
