In this study, in order to find novel biologically active pyrazole oxime compounds, a series of pyrazole oxime derivatives containing a 5-trifluoromethylpyridyl moiety were synthesized. Preliminary bioassays indicated that most title compounds were found to display good to excellent acaricidal activity against Tetranychus cinnabarinus at a concentration of 200 μg/mL, and some designed compounds...

Etoxazole, 2-(2,6-difluorophenyl-4-[4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-2-ethoxy-phenyl]-4,5-dihydrooxazole, an organofluorine chitin synthesis inhibitor, was assayed for its bioactivities against several major insect and acarus pests and compared to several other pesticides: two chitin synthesis inhibitors, hexaflumuron and chlorfluazuron; a pyrethroid, permethrin; an organophosphate, acephate; a carboximid...

Field trials were laid in the farmer’s holdings at Kaalipalayam, Coimbatore district during August, 2011 to November, 2011 to assess the efficacy of selected botanical insecticides against aphids, thrips, leaf miners and defoliators infesting Solanum nigrum. The results of the experiments revealed that among the treatments, foliar spray of profenophos is found to be the best treatment for the m...

A field experiment was carried out to test the efficacy of insecticides against aphid Aphis craccivora in fenugreek at Research Farm, Agricultural Station, Mandor-Jodhpur during rabi, 2021-22. After two sprays, flonicamid 50 WG found most effective while azadirachtin 10,000 ppm (4.73 aphids/5 cm central shoot) treated plots least effective. Maximum yield (1722 kg/ha) obtained from with WG. The ...
