TOBACCO FLEA BEETLE SUSCEPTIBILITY TO FOLIAR INSECTICIDES, 2010

Comparisons of ecorational and chemical insecticides against crucifer flea beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) on canola.

Studies were done comparing the insecticides SpinTor (spinosad), BotaniGard (Beauveria bassiana), Neemix (azadirachtin), and Surround (kaolin, a clay) with conventional chemical insecticides Capture (bifenthrin) and Helix XTra (thiamethoxam), all applied at seven rates in a 7-d assay to assess their impact on adult crucifer flea beetle, Phyllotreta cruciferae (Goeze) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)...

Differential Susceptibility of Japanese Beetle, Oriental Beetle, and European Chafer (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) Larvae to Five Soil Insecticides

Susceptibility of Anopheles Fluviatilis James to different insecticides in

Introduction: An estimated population of 40% of Hormozgan province, southern Iran, live mainly in mountainous areas in close contact with Anopheles Fluviatilis. This specie has highly exophilic and anthropophilic behaviors and is one of major malaria vectors in the mountainous areas of Hormozgan province. This study was conducted to assess the irritability and susceptibility level of An. Fluv...

Rainfastness of insecticides used to control Japanese beetle in blueberries.

Field-based bioassays were used to determine the relative impact of rainfall on the relative toxicity of four insecticides, phosmet, carbaryl, zeta-cypermethrin, or imidacloprid, from different chemical classes on adult Japanese beetles, Popillia japonica Newman, in highbush blueberries, Vaccinium corymbosum L. Bioassays were set up 24 h after spraying occurred and Japanese beetle condition was...

Relative Susceptibility of Red and Green Color Morphs of the Green Peach Aphid to Foliar and Systemic Insecticides

Foliar and systemic insecticide bioassay techniques were developed for testing insecticide susceptibility to two color morphs of the green peach aphid. Six foliar and one systemic insecticide were used in our evaluations. These insecticides included three organophosphates, two pyrethroids, one organochlorine, and one chloronicotinyl. One of the green colored populations tested was collected fro...
