Investigations on susceptibility of insecticides in cotton mealybug (Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley) was carried out at Main Cotton Research Station, Navsari Agricultural University, Surat during October 2020 to January 2021 through the IRAC leaf dip bio-assay technique. Mealybug population from farmer’s field Bharuch district were collected and reared NAU, under cage cover. Leaf bio-assays for...

Brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) is an economically important insect pest of rice crop worldwide including Pakistan. The use chemicals insecticides to control the BPH population has been considered effective strategy. However, long-term and intensive resulted in resistance against this pest. In study, six recommended were tested over period 2015-2019 d...

The effect treatments with the recommended application rates of avermectin, buprofezin, white oil, lambda-cyhalothrin and cyromazine on Trialeurodes vaporariorum Westwood (Aleyrodidae: Homoptera) was evaluated. Pesticides were applied against larvae infesting brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) and tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) plants in a natural environment of the Cameron Highlands, Pahang...

Despite the major role of chitin biosynthesis inhibitors such as benzoylureas (BPUs) in the control of pests in agricultural and public health for almost four decades, their molecular mode of action (MoA) has in most cases remained elusive. BPUs interfere with chitin biosynthesis and were thought to interact with sulfonylurea receptors that mediate chitin vesicle transport. Here, we uncover a m...

Compound behavior such as adsorption with soil and mobility in rice plants of 2-tertbutylimino-3-isopropyl-5-phenyl-3, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydro-2H-1, 3, 5-thiadiazin-4-one (buprof ezin) and 3'-isopropoxy-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzanilide(flutolanil) were determined and compared with results reported previously for a set of fungicidal compounds. Highly hydrophobic buprofezin was strongly adsorbed with th...

The brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Stål)[BPH], is a damaging pest of rice in Asia. Insecticides and varietal resistance are widely implemented BPH management practices. However, outbreaks have been linked to excessive insecticide use—challenging the compatibility these two IR62 variety with against BPH, whitebacked Sogatella furcifera Horváth [WBPH], green leafhopper, Nephotettix viresc...
