ABSTRACT: The experiment was carried out for management of jute yellow mite, Polyphagotarsonemus latus Banks at Central station and Mqanikgonj farm of Bangladesh Jute Research Institute, Dhaka, Bangladesh during 2013 to 2014 with some indigenous plant materials namely neem leaf and seed kernel, spent tea, mahogany leaf and seed, jute seed extracts, turmeric powder along with untreated control. Results showed that the tested plant materials exerted significantly higher level of mortality of mite compared to control. Among the plant materials neem seed kernel extract showed the highest mortality at 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment. The neem seed kernel extract, mahogany seed extract and spent tea extracts were found highly effective showing reduction of 70.1%, 68.4% and 65.1% plant infestation, respectively while jute seed extract, green neem leaf extract and turmeric powder extract were moderately effective, and mahogany leaf extract was the least effective (55.3%) against jute yellow mite.
