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.
