Abstract: Abstract: Potted Ficus plants damaged by Gynaikothrips ficorum (Mar-Chal) was fumigated by methyl bromide at vacuum condition. The results show that G. ficorum can be killed completely at lower dosage of methyl bromide and in short time under vacuum condition. It provides a new method for treatment of pests in flower。However, young leaves of potted plants will be chemical damaged by methyl bromide after high vacuum condition.
