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 ...

Maize is the third most important grass produced in world after wheat and rice. Among limitations of its production, fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) considered relevant pest which corn main host plant. During dry rainy seasons 2021-2022, lots 1200 m2 were planted including three commercial hybrids, ADV-9139, Trueno NB-7443, INIAP-551 treatments evaluated: T1:...

The influence of benzoate anions on the corrosion inhibition effect of benzotriazole (BTA) for mild steel in sulfuric acid has been investigated. The investigation was carried out by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization techniques. The addition of benzoate ions greatly enhances the inhibition efficiency of BTA in a synergistic manner. This effect has bee...

Fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda is an invasive and notorious pest of maize in many countries including Nepal. Several approaches integrated management have been adopted for its control, chemical being the most popular choice farmers’ fields. Efficacy such pesticides fall armyworm interpreted as per location, season, time crops. In some cases, insect pests are always increasing pesticide re...

A field experiment was carried out at Central Research Farm (CRF), SHUATS, Uttar Pradesh, India, during the Kharif season (autumn reap) for a total of three months, from mid-July to mid-October, 2022. The seven treatments—Indoxacarb 14.5% SC (T1), Deltamethrin 2.8% EC (T2), Karanjin oil (T3), Metarhizium anisopliae 1*108 CFU (T4), Neem 5% (T5), Emamectin benzoate SG (T6), Spinosad 45% (T7), and...

The use of antiparasitic pesticides (APs) has been widely required by the salmon industry to treat diseases. The direct emission of chemicals in the seawater has produced uncertainty about the potential effects on nontarget organisms, such as crustaceans. The aim of this study was to assess the toxicity of three APs used by the salmon farm industry, such as emamectin benzoate (EB), cypermethrin...

4''-Oxo-avermectin is a key intermediate in the manufacture of the insecticide emamectin benzoate from the natural product avermectin. Seventeen Streptomyces strains with the ability to oxidize avermectin to 4''-oxo-avermectin in a regioselective manner have been discovered, and the enzymes responsible for this reaction were found to be CYPs (cytochrome P450 mono-oxygenases). The genes for thes...
