Helicoverpa spp. and mirids, Creontiades spp., have been difficult to control biologically in cotton due to their unpredictable temporal abundance combined with a cropping environment often made hostile by frequent usage of broad spectrum insecticides. To address this problem, a range of new generation insecticides registered for use in cotton were tested for compatibility with the assassin bug...

To evaluate the effects of pesticides to parasite eggs, Ascaris suum eggs were incubated with 5 different pesticides (1:1,500-1:2,000 dilutions of 2% emamectin benzoate, 5% spinetoram, 5% indoxacarb, 1% deltamethrin, and 5% flufenoxuron; all v/v) at 20℃ for 6 weeks, and microscopically evaluated the egg survival and development on a weekly basis. The survival rate of A. suum eggs incubated in n...

A field trail was conducted at Central Research Farm (CRF), Naini, Prayagraj during Kharif from July to November 2021 in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. Eight treatments were evaluated against Earias vittella i.e., Flubendiamide @480% SC, Indoxacarb @ 14.5% Spinosad 45% Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% EC, Neem oil 2%, Emamectin benzoate 5% SG, Cypermethrin 25% EC and untreated ...

The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella has been developed resistance to many groups of pesticides including of pyrethroids. The present study was conducted to evaluate the toxicity of deltamethrin on the third instar larvae of six populations of the pest using leaf dipping method. The results showed that different populations had different susceptibilities to deltamethrin. At the LC50 level,...
