Predatory coccinellid, Cryptolaemus montrouzieri Mulsant is an important biological agent in citrus orchards. The effect of six treatments included: two types mineral oils, EC and mayonnaise at the concentration 15 ml/L, buprofezin 0.75 buprofezin+EC oil 0.5+5 insecticidal soap palizin 2.5 water as control were investigated on functional numerical responses C. under laboratory conditions. exper...

t g a 1 a c w ( a e c a e The compatibility of five insect growth regulators (IGRs), buprofezin, pyriproxyfen, fenoxycarb, pymetrozine, and kinoprene, were tested in the laboratory for compatibility with the whitefly parasitoid Eretmocerus eremicus Rose and Zolnerowich (Hymeoptera: Aphelinidae). The survivorship of adult paraitoids foraging on poinsettia leaves with residues 6, 4, and 96 h of a...

The stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.) (Diptera: Muscidae), is one of the most significant biting flies that affect cattle. The use of traditional insecticides for stable fly control has only a limited success owing to the insect's unique feeding behaviours and immature development sites. A laboratory study was conducted to evaluate the effects of two insect growth regulator (IGR) products, p...

Based on the importance of using low-risk compounds to protect beneficial agents, present study evaluated acute toxicity lethal and sublethal concentrations insecticides thiacloprid, pyriproxyfen, chlorantraniliprole adults Aphelinus mali (Haldeman), main parasitoid woolly apple aphid, Eriosoma lanigerum (Hausmann). Similarly, acetamiprid, buprofezin, cyantraniliprole were Acerophagus flavidulu...

A pilot Integrated Fruit Production (IFP) programme for pest and disease management was evaluated on approximately 88 apple orchards throughout New Zealand. Insect control was based on increased use of biological control, monitoring and threshold-based applications of insecticides. The insect growth regulator tebufenozide was used for control of codling moth and leafrollers, while homopteran pe...

In this study, we aimed to analyze changes in the residual levels of buprofezin during milling, washing, cooking, and processing rice make porridge, cakes, cookies. The pesticide residue were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatograph with UV detector. level brown was 21.8 mg/kg, after that polished 1.73 elimination 92.1% residue. rate reduction washing 21.6-57.3%, decreased by 27.4-6...

Sogatella furcifera (Horváth) is a migratory insect that is one of the most important pest species on rice in many Asian countries. Control of S. furcifera (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) primarily depends on the use of chemical insecticides, and with this extensive reliance on pesticides, determining the degree of resistance of S. furcifera populations to the chemicals used for its control is essenti...
