Vineyards were surveyed for grapevine leafroll-associated viruses and their insect vectors in New York State's Finger Lakes region in 2006-2008. Grape mealybug, Pseudococcus maritimus (Erhorn) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), European Fruit Lecanium, Parthenolecanium corni (Bouche), and Cottony Maple Scale, Pulvinaria acericola (Walsh and Riley) (Hemiptera: Coccidae) were identified as vector speci...

House flies, Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae) are mechanical vectors of many diseases on poultry facilities and have the ability to develop resistance to different insecticides. The aim of the present study was to assess the resistance status of house flies to neonicotinoids and insect growth regulators (IGR) from poultry facility populations in Punjab, Pakistan. M. domestica populations ...

Occurrence and removal of six high-production high-volume neonicotinoids was investigated in 13 conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and one engineered wetland. Flow-weighted daily composites were analyzed by isotope dilution liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, revealing the occurrence of imidacloprid, acetamiprid, and clothianidin at ng/L concentrations in WWTP influent...

the impairment of the reproductive performance of pesticide resistant individuals in pesticide-free environment is the result of fitness costs associated with pesticide resistance, which is often determined by resource allocation from a basic physiological process to the protection against pesticides, favoring survival at the expense of reproduction. in this study, the fecundity life table para...

Experiments were carried out against the red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Oliv.) (RPW in a private orchard containing varieties of Samani (domestic) and Ikhlas (imported) infested with weevil (RPW) El-Marg area, Cairo Governorate, Egypt, using Petroleum oil, Jojoba Inorganic salts, singly mixed each insecticides (Acetamiprid, Profenofos, Dimethoate) by injection spraying trunks, as w...

In the present study, the effects of low (10 ng/bee) and high (100 ng/bee) doses of acetamiprid and deltamethrin insecticides on multi-trial learning and retrieval were evaluated in the honey bee Apis mellifera. After oral application, acetamiprid and deltamethrin at the concentrations used were not able to impair learning sessions. When the retention tests were performed 1 h, 6 h, and 24 h aft...

Frankliniella occidentalis is a highly destructive and invasive agricultural pest that has developed resistance to variety of insecticide classes. Different planting structures use frequency can directly affect the development F. occidentalis. In this study, susceptibility three field strains occidentalis, collected over one year (April November) from habitat conditions (facility agriculture ar...

This study investigated alternative in-field chemical controls against Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt). Bioassay 1 tested the mortality of adults exposed to fruit and filter paper dipped in insecticide, and the topical application of insecticide to adults/fruit. Bioassay 2 measured the mortality of adults permitted to oviposit on fruit dipped in insecticide and aged 0, 1, 3, or 5 days, plus the pr...

Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is a polyphagous pest that causes significant losses in many crops. In the present study, biochemical and molecular mechanism of acetamiprid resistance laboratory-selected population which ratios reached 57.5-fold were investigated. This study was conducted Isparta University Applied Sciences, Agriculture Faculty, Department Plant Protection 2018 2...

Insecticide field trials were conducted in Ontario, Canada, and New York state to identify insecticides effective against the swede midge, Contarinia nasturtii Kieffer (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), a new invasive pest in North America. Field trials indicated that foliar applications of lambda-cyhalothrin, permethrin, acetamiprid, chlorpyrifos, and dimethoate could provide control of C. nasturtii. F...
