چکیده
The insecticidal potential of benzoylphenylurea (BPU) insect growth regulators (IGRs) has been studied since the early 1970s (Maas et al. 1981). A number of these IGRs have been evaluated in the laboratory and under field conditions against dipterous insects of medical and economic importance, particularly mosquitoes and chironomid midges (Ali and Lord 1980, Mulla and Darwazeh 1979). Among the BPUs' diflubenzuron, Bay Sir 8514, and UC-62644 (2, 6-d i f luoro-N[ [ [a[3-d ichloro-5 t r i f luoro-

Efficacy of two formulations of the insect growth regulator, pyriproxyfen (Nylar or Sumilarv), against nuisance Chironomidae (Diptera) in man-made ponds.
A juvenoid insect growth regulator, pyriproxyfen (Nylar or Sumilarv), in a 10% emulsifiable concentrate (10 EC) and a granular (3% sand granules) formulation was evaluated for efficacy against natural populations of chironomid midges in man-made ponds in central Florida. Both formulations at 0.05 kg AI/ha induced complete suppression of adult midge emergence for 1 wk. At 0.2 kg AI/ha, emergence...
متن کاملToxicity of a phenyl pyrazole insecticide, fipronil, to mosquito and chironomid midge larvae in the laboratory.
Toxicity of a phenyl pyrazole insecticide, fipronil, to 4th-instar larvae of 6 species of colonized mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti, Ae. albopictus, Ae. taeniorhynchus, Anopheles quadrimaculatus, Culex nigripalpus, and Cx. quinquefasciatus) and 2 species of field-collected chironomid midges (Chironomus crassicaudatus and Glyptotendipes paripes) was evaluated in the laboratory. All mosquito species we...
متن کاملMosquito-specialist spiders
What does ‘mosquito specialist’ mean? A mosquito specialist is a predator that actively prefers mosquitoes, by which we mean that it is differentially motivated to capture mosquitoes among possible prey. This would make it extraordinarily useful, as it would be targeting an insect that matters to people. At best, the mosquito is a nuisance and, at worst, it is a notorious disease vector. There ...
متن کاملStudies on Insecticidal Activities and Action Mechanism of Novel Benzoylphenylurea Candidate NK-17
Insecticidal activity of NK-17 was evaluated both in laboratory and in field. It was found that the toxicity of NK-17 against S. exigua was 1.93 times and 2.69 times those of hexaflumuron and chlorfluazuron respectively, and the toxicity of NK-17 against P. xylostella was 1.36 times and 1.90 times those of hexaflumuron and chlorfluazuron respectively, and the toxicity of NK-17 against M. separa...
متن کاملLaboratory and field evaluations of novaluron, a new insect growth regulator (IGR), against Culex mosquitoes.
Limited laboratory and field studies have indicated that the insect growth regulator (IGR) novaluron exhibits good activity against larvae of pest species in the orders Coleoptera, Hemiptera (suborder Heteroptera), and Lepidoptera by both ingestion and contact. We completed laboratory and field studies to evaluate activity and efficacy of novaluron against Culex mosquitoes. In laboratory studie...
