The efficacy of emamectin benzoate (SLICE) against sea lice infestations of Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., is typically assessed using untreated fish, or fish treated with alternative therapeutants, as controls. The State of Maine, USA, is currently under active management for the OIE-notifiable pathogen, infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV); consequently, neither control group is feasible ...

The European earwig (Forficula auricularia) is potentially a predator of a number of insect pests in apple orchards. However, its effectiveness as a natural enemy in apple orchards may be compromised by insecticide sprays. A laboratory bioassay of eight insecticides currently used in Integrated Fruit Production (IFP) apple orchards and one as-yet unregistered product was undertaken to determine...

) is one of the most important public health pests spread in Egypt, so we studied biochemical and toxicological changes to traditional bio-pesticides on third instar larvae domestic mosquito. Three organic pesticides (chlorpyrifos, lambada cyhalothrin, imidaclopride) two biopesticides (emamectin benzoate, spinosad) at different concentrations treated calculating value LC

Article history: Received on: 15/05/2015 Revised on: 10/06/2015 Accepted on: 17/06/2015 Available online: 20/06/2015 Two field experiments were conducted during Kharif, 2010 and 2011 to find out economical control measures against legume pod borer, Maruca vitrata (Geyer) on pigeonpea. Experimental results showed that the per cent inflorescence damage due to Maruca was lowest in chlorantranilipr...

Six to nine populations of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.), were collected annually from fields of crucifer vegetables in the United States and Mexico from 2001 to 2004 for baseline susceptibility tests and resistance monitoring to spinosad, indoxacarb, and emamectin benzoate. A discriminating concentration for resistance monitoring to indoxacarb and emamectin benzoate was determ...

Effective methods are needed to protect ash trees (Fraxinus spp.) from emerald ash borer, Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), an invasive buprestid that has killed millions of North American ash (Fraxinus spp.) trees. We randomly assigned 175 ash trees (11.5Ð48.1 cm in diameter) in 25 blocks located in three study sites in Michigan to one of seven insecticide treatments in ...

The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), is one of the most important pests that has developed high pesticide resistance. The resistances of five Chinese populations of this moth, four resistant strains (from Beijing, Henan, Fujian, and Guangdong) and one susceptible strain, to five pesticides were determined, and the activities of carboxylesterase, glutathione...

Emamectin benzoate (MK-0244) is a novel semi-synthetic derivative of the natural product abamectin in the avermectin family of 16-membered macrocylic lactones. This epi-methyl amino derivative has unprecedented potency against a broad spectrum of lepidopterous pests with LC90values ranging between 0.001–0.02 ug/ml in ingestion-based foliar spray assays. Emamectin benzoate is ca. 1,500-fold more...
