Effect of insect density, plant age, and residue duration on acetamiprid efficacy against swede midge

The Swede midge, Contarinia nasturtii Kieffer (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), a common insect pest in Europe, is a newly invasive pest in North America that constitutes a major threat to crucifer vegetable and field crops. Chemical control of Swede midge with synthetic insecticides under laboratory conditions indicated that insecticides generally could provide very effective control; however, insecticide treatments in the field were rarely able to maintain damage levels within marketable limits. In the current study, factors affecting insecticide efficacy were investigated using a neonicotinoid insecticide, acetamipird, as a foliar spray on cauliflower plants. Our results indicated that Swede midge density did not affect the efficacy of acetamirpid, although it significantly increased the subsequent Swede midge population on the unsprayed cauliflower plants. Additionally, cauliflower plant age did not significantly affect spray coverage and acetamipird efficacy on Swede midge. However, acetamiprid only provided 6-d control of Swede midge and its efficacy was reduced by up to 50% 9 d after spraying. Implications of our results on the development of an overall integrated pest management (IPM) program for Swede midge also are discussed.     

Systemic control efficacy of neonicotinoids seeds dressing on English grain aphid (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

English grain aphid, Sitobion avenae (Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), is an important pest of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), and is usually controlled by intensive foliar sprays of pesticides under field conditions. In order to reduce labour costs and increase the utilization of pesticides, neonicotinoids seed treatment was studied as a simple and accurate control technology for S. avenae. We evaluated the mortality of imidacloprid, acetamiprid, thiamethoxam, clothianidin, nitenpyram and dinotefuran to the English grain aphid by seed dressing methods in the laboratory, and found that the toxicity with that LC₅₀ of clothianidin (20.97?a.i.?g/100?kg seeds) and thiamethoxam (28.84?a.i.?g/100?kg seeds) to S. avenae are higher than other neonicotinoids. LC₅₀ values of nitenpyram, imidacloprid and acetamiprid ranged between 120?a.i.?g/100?kg seeds and 210?a.i.?g/100?kg seeds. Dinotefuran showed the lowest toxicity with LC₅₀ value 565.76?a.i.?g/100?kg seeds to English grain aphid. Field plot experiments were conducted to investigate the control efficacy of neonicotinoids seed treatment for the aphid, and the effects on growth of wheat. Field observations indicated that clothianidin and thiamethoxam provided the better control efficacy on the English grain aphid than imidacloprid, and had no influence on wheat seedling emergence. These results showed that seed treatment by neonicotinoids was effective against S. avenae throughout the growth period, furthermore, thiamethoxam and clothianidin were the effective and safe alternative options for S. avenae management in the crop.     

Activity of selected neonicotinoids and dicrotophos on nontarget arthropods in cotton: implications in insect management

Certain neonicotinoids are used in cotton, Gossypium hirsutum (L.), to control various piercing-sucking pests. We conducted field studies using three neonicotinoids (acetamiprid, thiamethoxam, and imidacloprid) and an organophosphate (dicrotophos) to assess the activity of these insecticides against nontarget arthropods, particularly predators, and to determine the potential economic consequences of such activity. Mortality among populations of the big-eyed bug, Geocoris punctipes (Say), and the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren, was highest after thiamethoxam and dicrotophos treatments. Numbers of arachnids were consistently lower after dicrotophos treatments, whereas none of the neonicotinoids caused appreciable mortality. Total predators in pooled data from five separate studies revealed that numbers, compared with untreated plots, were reduced by -75% in dicrotophos, 55-60% in thiamethoxam, and only 30% in both acetamiprid and imidacloprid plots. Acetamiprid and thiamethoxam exhibited significant mortality against field-deposited eggs of bollworm, Helicoverpa zea (Boddie). Both thiamethoxam and dicrotophos plots exhibited bollworm numbers that were approximately three times higher than treatment thresholds (three per 100 plants), whereas numbers in untreated plots were below threshold levels. In one study on Bt cotton, a significant negative correlation was observed between numbers of predators and bollworm larvae. Results demonstrated that neonicotinoids differ in activity against predaceous arthropods and bollworm eggs and that high predator mortality can result in resurgence of bollworm larvae and additional insecticide costs.     

噻虫嗪灌根对四种叶菜上害虫的防治效果及残留检测

为明确噻虫嗪灌根对叶菜类蔬菜害虫的防治效果及残留情况,采用1.04 mg/株、1.39 mg/株和2.08 mg/株噻虫嗪对苗期快菜、青梗菜、菠菜以及叶用莴苣进行灌根处理,并调查对其主要害虫的防治效果及产品中的残留量。结果表明,在噻虫嗪有效成分为1.04 mg/株、1.39 mg/株和2.08 mg/株处理浓度下,能够将4种叶菜上的虫口数控制在2头/株以下,且产品中噻虫嗪残留量在0.0015-1.504 mg/kg,符合国际标准。因此,采用噻虫嗪有效成分1.04-2.08 mg/株的药剂浓度在苗期对叶菜类蔬菜进行灌根,可有效控制蚜虫等害虫的危害,并保证残留量符合安全标准。     

Bean seed fly (Delia platura, Delia florilega) and onion fly (Delia antiqua) incidence in England and an evaluation of chemical and biological control options

Bean seed fly and onion fly are significant pests of alliaceous crops in the UK. Their activity was monitored using yellow water traps at three field sites in England in 2002 and 2003. Bean seed fly were not split between Delia platura or Delia florilega because from the growers point of view control measures are independent of species. The traps were effective at catching bean seed fly, which was present from April until September. A total of 1729 bean seed fly were trapped in 2002 and 4501 in 2003, with peak activity in May in both years. In 2003, there appeared to be three to four peaks in abundance of the pest. Only 113 onion flies were trapped in 2002 and 23 in 2003. More male onion fly were trapped than females. Pot experiments were carried out to evaluate efficacy of a range of insecticides, garlic and two parasitic nematode species (Steinernemafeltiae and Steinernema kraussei) against bean seed fly and onion fly. Pots of salad onions were exposed to natural oviposition by bean seed fly, but the onion fly experiment was carried out in a glasshouse with eggs of the pest being inoculated into the pots. Tefluthrin seed treatment appeared to be especially effective at preventing bean seed fly damage and produced the most robust seedlings but did not appear to kill the larvae. A drench of chlorpyrifos at the ‘crook’ stage gave 100% control of bean seed fly larvae. A chlorpyrifos drench was the only treatment to give effective control of onion fly. There was some evidence that the parasitic nematode S. feltiae reduced numbers of bean seed fly larvae by about 50%. Guidelines for control of both bean seed fly and onion fly are discussed.     

Advances in control of onion thrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in cabbage

Onion thrips, Thrips tabaci Lindeman (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), feeding injury results in discoloration and a rough texture on cabbage, Brassica oleracea capitata (L.), leaves, and damage may occur deep inside the head. It has become a key pest of cabbage in the United States and many other countries. Previous studies have indicated poor control using insecticides. The present study identified imidacloprid drenches and sprays of acetamiprid, dimethoate, spinosad, and imidacloprid as insecticides that performed better than the industry standard, lambda-cyhalothrin. However, additional tests with foliar sprays of dimethoate and acetamiprid indicated there was not an ideal crop stage (precupping, cupping, or postcupping) at which either insecticide could be applied for reliable control of T. tabaci, possibly because of multiple flights of thrips into the crop or the asynchrony of flights and susceptible crop stages. In tests in a commercial field, a soil drench of imidacloprid 4 wk after transplanting reduced the number of damaged leaves in the head by 32%, whereas five sprays of acetamiprid reduced damage by 51%. Combining both insecticide regimes reduced damage by 85%, but resulted in a very costly management program. Cabbage varieties varied considerably in susceptibility with some having negligible thrips injury, regardless of being treated with an insecticide. Planting date affected susceptibility of cabbage to some degree, but not as much as other tactics. Overall, these studies indicate that increased emphasis should be placed on breeding cabbages to be resistant to T. tabaci as the foundation for its management.     

防治新入侵害虫蜂巢小甲虫杀虫剂的室内筛选

蜂巢小甲虫Aethina tumida是一种新入侵为害蜜蜂蜂巢的危险性害虫,筛选出具有较高毒力水平的化学药剂防治该虫迫在眉睫。本文采用浸渍法测定了10种杀虫剂对蜂巢小甲虫幼虫的毒力。试验结果表明,10 mg/L高效氯氰菊酯、啶虫脒和功夫菊酯在24 h内对蜂巢小甲虫幼虫的致死率达到36.67%、33.33%和29.39%,而10 mg/L高效氯氰菊酯和功夫菊酯在48 h对蜂巢小甲虫幼虫的致死率均达到100%。啶虫脒、高效氯氰菊酯和功夫菊酯在24 h的LC_(50)分别为10.47 mg/L、16.94 mg/L和19.1 mg/L。其它受试的杀虫剂如多杀菌素、氟虫腈、氟啶脲、虫酰肼、敌百虫、阿维菌素和甲维盐的触杀致死率相对较低。筛选结果显示,啶虫脒、高效氯氰菊酯和功夫菊酯可作为目前防治蜂巢小甲虫的的重要参考防治药剂。     

Susceptibility of pest Nezara viridula (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) and parasitoid Trichopoda pennipes (Diptera: Tachinidae) to selected insecticides

Susceptibility of the southern green stink bug, Nezara viridula (L.) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae), and its endoparasitoid Trichopoda pennipes (F.) (Diptera: Tachinidae) to acetamiprid, cyfluthrin, dicrotophos, indoxacarb, oxamyl, and thiamethoxam was compared in residual and oral toxicity tests. In the residual toxicity test, cyfluthrin, dicrotophos, and oxamyl were highly toxic to N. viridula. Thiamethoxam was moderately toxic to these insects. Each of the four insecticides was highly toxic to T. pennipes after prolonged tarsal contact with dried residues of these chemicals. In the oral toxicity test, where N. viridula fed on food covered with insecticide residues, none of the insecticides were toxic to adults of this stink bug, but acetamiprid, dicrotophos, and thiamethoxam were moderately toxic to the nymphs. In the oral toxicity test, where N. viridula fed on a gel-food containing insecticides, cyfluthrin, dicrotophos, oxamyl, and thiamethoxam were highly toxic to this stink bug. In an oral toxicity test using contaminated sugar water, all of the insecticides were highly toxic to T. pennipes. Because insecticides were as toxic, or more toxic, to T. pennipes than to N. viridula, it is extremely important to conserve this parasitoid by applying these insecticides for control of southern green stink bugs only when the pest reaches economic threshold.     

Efficacy of Oxamyl Against Heterodera schachtii on Cabbage

The efficacy of oxamyl in controlling Heterodera schachtii on cabbage was determined by applying various contbinations of soil drenches at 6.7 kg (a.i.)/ha and foliar sprays at 0.04 kg (a.i.)/100 liters of water to cabbage seedlings. Pretransplant drenches provided some control of H. schachtii over a 13-week period. A single foliar spray of oxamyl 1 week before transplanting apparently prevented penetration of H. schachtii larvae; post-transplant sprays were relatively ineffective. A pretransplant or transplant drench combined with a foliar application 2 weeks after transplanting provided the most effective control. The effectiveness of drenches plus post-transplant sprays is probably due to the spray augmenting the action of the drench in inhibiting the development of larvae after penelration.     

The Compatibility of Control Agents used for the Control of the South American Leafminer, Liriomyza huidobrensis

The compatibility of infective juveniles (IJs) of the entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema feltiae, the parasitic wasps Diglyphus isaea and Dacnusa sibirica, and chemical insecticides to control larval stages of the South American leafminer, Liriomyza huidobrensis, on leafy salad crops was investigated. In intact leaf mines, leafminer larvae already parasitized by D. isaea which had developed to the larval or pupal stage, and D. sibirica in the larval stage were subsequently also infected by S. feltiae following a foliar application. This reduced the potential of the wasps to survive until the adult stage. In similar tests foliar applied chemical insecticides reduced the survival to adulthood of D. sibirica and their host larvae. However, a soil drench of imidaclorpid did not cause a significant reduction in the number of D. sibirica which survived the treatment and developed to adult emergence. Tests to investigate the utilisation of parasitoids following foliar applications of nematodes found that adult D. isaea did not discriminate between the healthy and nematode-infected leafminer larvae for host feeding, although 98% of eggs laid by the female wasps were deposited alongside healthy larvae.

Suppressing spread of Tomato spotted wilt virus by drenching infected source or healthy recipient plants with neonicotinoid insecticides to control thrips vectors

Field experiments were done to determine whether drenching plants with two systemically active neonicotinoid insecticides, thiamethoxam and imidacloprid, suppresses spread of Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) by thrips vectors. Separate treatments to TSWV ‘infector’ tomato (source) and healthy lettuce (recipient) plants provided information on the relative importance of targeting control at virus acquisition by nymphs versus virus transmission to healthy plants by adults. Drenches were applied either to seedlings just before transplanting or to soil around plants. The thrips vectors recorded were Frankliniella occidentalis, F. schultzei and Thrips tabaci, but F. schultzei and T. tabaci predominated. Overall ratios of external to internal TSWV spread into and within plots without insecticide ranged from 1 : 2.3 to 1 : 2.8 between field experiments. Applying thiamethoxam as a soil drench to both young source plants and recipient seedling transplants suppressed TSWV incidence by 86%, while such application to either young source or recipient seedlings diminished incidence by 67–70%. When thiamethoxam was applied either as a soil drench to old source plants and concurrently as a seedling drench to recipient plants or as a seedling drench to recipient plants alone, incidence was suppressed by 65–73% and 54–73%, respectively. Thiamethoxam applied as a soil drench to old source plants diminished incidence by only 33% or not significantly. Imidacloprid applied either as a soil drench to old source plants and concurently as a seedling drench or as a seedling drench alone, suppressed TSWV incidence by 90–92% and 80% respectively. Although adult vector thrips and nymph numbers were low, fewer adults and/or nymphs were sometimes recorded due to insecticide application. Drenching healthy seedlings with neonicotinoid insecticides just before transplanting can be an effective chemical control measure to include in integrated disease management strategies to suppress TSWV epidemics in short‐duration crops like lettuce.     

Effects of two plant extracts on larval leafminer Liriomyza trifolii (Diptera: Agromyzidae) in tomatoes

Aqueous extracts from two plants, Urginea maritima L. (Liliaceae) and Euphorbia myrsinites L. (Euphorbiaceae), were tested for their insecticidal activity against the leafminer Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess) on infested tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill., plants in the laboratory and field. Two grams of plant material was extracted with 100 ml of water and then diluted 1:100, 1:50, and 1:25 with distilled water. Diluted plant extract was either applied to the infested tomato leaves or by soil drench and was compared with foliar application of cyromazine. All dilutions of both plant extracts caused significant control of the leafminer larvae and maintained populations below those of the nontreated control plants in all trials. Only at the most concentrated dilutions (1:25) were the plant extracts statistically similar to the cyromazine treatment. Furthermore, greenhouse yields from all of the foliar treatments were statistically similar to the cyromazine treatment and significantly better than the nontreated control. Four species of leafminer parasitoids were found in the greenhouse; however, the percentage of parasitism was significantly less in all treated replicates than in the nontreated control replicates. Aqueous extracts from these two plant extracts exhibited both translaminar and systemic activity and are potential candidates as new organic insecticides.     

Seasonal development of an invasive exotic species, Contarinia nasturtii (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), in Quebec

The seasonal development of the swede midge Contarinia nasturtii Kieffer was studied in Quebec in 2004 and 2005 using pheromone traps, emergence cages, and visual inspection in relation to degree-day accumulations (DD(7.2 degrees C)). Peak emergence of overwintering adults occurred between 344 and 731 DD(7.2 degrees C) (second half of June) during both seasons. The swede midge had three to four overlapping generations in Quebec based on adult captures in pheromone traps and abundance of larvae in the field. The level of infestation was higher in late transplants than in early transplants, with cauliflower and broccoli being more susceptible to damage than white or red cabbage under high pest population.     

Potential distribution and relative abundance of swede midge, Contarinia nasturtii, an invasive pest in Canada

The swede midge, Contarinia nasturtii (Kieffer) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), is a pest of most cultivated Brassicaceae such as broccoli, canola, cauliflower, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts. The species primarily has a Palaearctic distribution and occurs throughout Europe and southwestern Asia to the Caucasus. Between 1996 and 1999, producers of cruciferous vegetables in Ontario, Canada, reported crop damage that was consistent with damage symptoms characteristic of C. nasturtii feeding and in 2000, field studies confirmed that this damage was caused by C. nasturtii . A bioclimatic model was developed to predict potential range and relative abundance of C. nasturtii in Canada in order to determine the impact of the establishment and spread of C. nasturtii populations. Model output indicated that C. nasturtii could potentially become established in all provinces of Canada, with the risk being greatest in southwestern British Columbia, southern Ontario and Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. Results indicated that C. nasturtii population growth in the Prairie Ecozone of western Canada would be greatest in years with above average precipitation.     

Biorational insecticides: mechanism and cross-resistance

Potency and cross-resistance of various biorational insecticides, exemplified by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci, have been studied. Bemisia tabaci were exposed to the juvenile hormone mimic pyriproxyfen for the past 12 years resulting in an over 2,000-fold resistance, but there was no appreciable cross-resistance with the benzoylphenyl urea novaluron. Similarly, no cross-resistance was found between pyriproxyfen and the two neonicotinoids, acetamiprid and imidacloprid. On the other hand, a slight cross-resistance of 5-13-fold was observed with another neonicotinoid thiamethoxam. Among the neonicotinoids, a resistant strain of B. tabaci to thiamethoxam (approximately 100-fold) showed no appreciable cross-resistance to either acetamiprid or imidacloprid, while another strain 500-fold resistant to thiamethoxam resulted in a mild of 4-6-fold resistance to acetamiprid and imidacloprid. In other assays, B. tabaci strain resistant to thiamethoxam (approximately 100-fold) had no cross-resistance to pyriproxyfen. Our findings indicate that no appreciable cross-resistance was observed between the benzoylphenyl urea novaluron, the juvenile hormone mimic pyriproxyfen, and the neonicotinoids acetamiprid and imidacloprid. Hence, these compounds could be used as components in insecticide resistance management programs.     

Does gall midge larvae cause pre-dispersal seed mortality and limit cornflower population growth?

Many kinds of pests can reduce seed production. Some directly attack seeds before they are released, and some are hosted by the fruit and impact seed ripening and viability indirectly. Pre-dispersal seed mortality may have strong effects on plant population dynamics and evolution. Our goals were to determine to what extent insect-mediated pre-dispersal seed mortality contributes to population-level declines of cornflower, Centaurea cyanus L. We recorded occurrence and abundance of seed-feeding insects on flower heads in twelve cornflower populations. We measured flower head size, number of disc florets, seed production, and seed viability and germination. Larger flower heads had proportionally fewer healthy seeds. Although we observed no visible damage to the C. cyanus seed, the presence of gall midge (Cecidomyiidae) larvae inside the flower head correlated with four times fewer viable seeds. It seems that gall midges could have a significant impact on ovule fertilization, seed abortion and viability of fully developed cornflower seeds. The higher rate of aborted seeds in the presence of gall midge larvae could have been because the larvae extracted resources from the seeds, or because the larvae repelled pollinators. The viability of apparently healthy seeds was 40% lower in flower heads that contained larvae and/or aborted seed. Insect-mediated pre-dispersal mortality could select against evolution toward larger flower head, and have detrimental consequences on seed number, viability and germination, all of which could limit the spread of C. cyanus populations.     

The use of chemicals, antagonists, repellents and physical barriers for the control of Lycoriella auripila (Diptera: Sciaridae), a pest of the cultivated mushroom Agaricus bisporus

The sciarid, Lycoriella auripila, is a serious pest of commercial mushroom production. A series of trials demonstrated that the use of early, specifically-targeted, treatments of insecticides and/or antagonists and repellents, which distance treatment time from crop harvest, have the potential to play a useful part in the control of initial and subsequent generations of this pest. Of the treatments examined, those involving a drench treatment of the compost at filling (before pasteurisation) proved to be the most effective. Cyromazine and diflubenzuron were the most active insecticides tested, with cyromazine achieving a superior level of control of the initial infestation. Repellents and antifeedants were also effective, with calcium oxalate and sinapic acid both achieving about 50% control when applied at filling. Treatments applied later during the production cycle, unless in combination with a treatment at filling, were progressively less effective at controlling both the initial sciarid infestation and later generations of larvae. Multiple treatments caused greater reductions in fly populations than did the single treatments and continued to do so throughout the cropping cycle, the greatest reduction in the initial generation (79%) occurring with a triple treatment of cyromazine. With the exception of some diflubenzuron treatments, those that were effective resulted in increases in yield. The use of a physical paper barrier caused significant increases in both fly numbers and total yield.     

Development, oviposition, and mortality of Neoseiulus fallacis (Acari: Phytoseiidae) in response to reduced-risk insecticides

Eight reduced-risk insecticides (acetamiprid, thiamethoxam, imidacloprid, thiacloprid, methoxyfenozide, pyriproxyfen, indoxacarb, and spinosad) and three conventional insecticides (azinphosmethyl, fenpropathrin, and esfenvalerate) were tested against Neoseiulus fallacis (Garman) (Acari: Phytoseiidae), the most abundant predacious mite in North Carolina apple (Malus spp.) orchards. To assess the effect of insecticides on development and mortality of N. fallacis immatures, 12-h-old eggs were individually placed on bean leaf disks previously dipped in insecticide solutions. Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) females were added as a food source. None of the reduced-risk insecticides significantly affected immature N. fallacis compared with the control; however, the pyrethroids esfenvalerate and fenpropathrin were highly toxic to immatures. To evaluate the effect of insecticides on mortality and oviposition of adult N. fallacis, 7- to 8-d-old females were confined on insecticide-treated bean leaves with Malephora crocea (Aizoaceae) pollen added as a food source. Spinosad resulted in the highest mortality, whereas azinphosmethyl, acetamiprid, fenpropathrin, and imidacloprid were moderately toxic, and mortality from esfenvalerate, indoxacarb, thiacloprid, methoxyfenozide, pyriproxyfen, and thiamethoxam did not differ significantly from the control. Oviposition was affected in a similar manner, with the exception of acetamiprid that did not affect oviposition, and thiamethoxam that reduced oviposition.     

褐飞虱和白背飞虱对几类杀虫剂的敏感性

为了科学用药和抗性治理提供理论基础, 采用稻茎浸渍法测定了2008年7月采自浙江省杭州市和宁波市褐飞虱 Nilaparvata lugens (Stål)种群对7种杀虫剂的抗药性及褐飞虱和白背飞虱Sogatella furcifera (Horváth)种群对16种杀虫剂的敏感性。褐飞虱抗药性测定结果表明, 与相对敏感品系相比, 杭州种群和宁波种群对吡虫啉的抗性倍数分别为479.0倍和366.1倍; 对氯噻啉的抗性倍数分别为81.1倍和50.9倍; 对噻虫嗪的抗性倍数分别为10.3倍和9.4倍; 对噻嗪酮和氟虫腈分别产生了5.0~8.6倍和15.8~17.0倍的抗药性; 对烯啶虫胺和啶虫脒的抗性倍数在3倍以下。两种稻飞虱对杀虫剂的敏感性测定结果表明: 噻虫嗪、噻嗪酮、烯啶虫胺和毒死蜱对褐飞虱和白背飞虱种群都具有较高的室内毒力。当田间褐飞虱和白背飞虱混合发生时, 可选用噻虫嗪、噻嗪酮、烯啶虫胺和毒死蜱进行防治, 不宜使用吡虫啉、氯噻啉和氟虫腈防治。
