The efficacy of two novel chloronicotinyls and two novel insect growth regulators against the greenhouse whitefly [Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood)] on summerplanted strawberries was evaluated in field experiments. Imidacloprid applied in soil 3 weeks after planting decreased whitefly adult numbers by 58% to 90%, first and second instars by 78% to 93% up to 56 days postapplication, and thir...

The effect of nitrogen content in rice plants on the tolerance of brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens Stål to high temperature, starvation and insecticide, was studied in the laboratory at International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), Philippines. Survival of nymphs and adults, fecundity and egg hatchability were significantly increased by the increase of nitrogen content in host plants...

BACKGROUND In recent years, outbreaks of the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Stål), have occurred more frequently in China. The objective of this study was to determine the susceptibility of N. lugens to neonicotinoids and other insecticides in major rice production areas in China. RESULTS Results indicated that substantial variations in the susceptibility to different insecticides exi...

The effect of twelve different groups insecticides on diversity major predators (insects and spiders) during active tillering bootleaf stage rice crop was evaluated in West Bengal. results showed that spinosad, emamectin benzoate, sulfoxaflor pymetrozine were highly safe while buprofezin, imidacloprid, indoxacarb chlorantraniliprole moderately so. like lambdacyhalothrin, fipronil chlorpyriphos ...

the effect of four concentrations (0.5, 1, 2.5, and 5 mg/lit) of two insect growth regulators ‎‎(igrs) of buprofezin and pyriproxifen on 1 and 4-day eggs, different nymphal instars, and ‎pupae of trialeurodes vaporariorum (homoptera: aleyrodidae), was studied at 26 ± 2 °c, 80 ± ‎‎5% rh, and 16: 8 (l: d) on lantana camara in the greenhouse. the effect of both igrs was ‎positively related to incr...

Whitefly biotypes B and Q are the two most damaging members of the Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) species complex. Control of B. tabaci (and especially of Q) has been impaired by resistance to commonly used insecticides. To find new insecticides for B. tabaci management in China, we investigated the sensitivity of eggs, larvae, and adults of laboratory strains of B and Q (named Lab-B a...
