Abstract

Crop pest damage can reduce agricultural output and place pressure on farm income. This study evaluates the biological efficacy of Klesh Stop Pro 45% SC against spider mites in cotton under field conditions in Shovot district, Khorezm region, Uzbekistan, in 2026. The product was tested at application rates of 0.28 and 0.35 L/ha and compared with Kill Mite 45% SC at 0.4 L/ha and an untreated control. Biological efficacy was reported at 3, 7 and 14 days after treatment. At 0.28 L/ha, efficacy reached 87.9%, 92.0% and 94.9%, respectively; at 0.35 L/ha, it reached 92.2%, 96.3% and 97.2%. The reference product showed efficacy of 89.4%, 91.4% and 91.8%. These results indicate strong biological control under the reported trial conditions and suggest potential relevance to farm-level crop-protection decisions. However, the study did not report product prices, application costs, cotton yield, market revenue or net returns; therefore, economic efficiency and profitability cannot be quantified from the available data. Further work should combine efficacy results with a full cost-benefit assessment.
