Economic effects of horn fly (Diptera: Muscidae) populations on beef cattle exposed to three pesticide treatment regimes.

چکیده
Horn flies could not be maintained below 50 per animal with sprays or dusts during a 21-wk study. However, weights of cows and calves and condition scores of cows were not influenced by suppression of Haematobia irritans (L.) populations. Results show that cattle in northwest Florida can tolerate average populations of greater than or equal to 200 flies for 70 d with no adverse economic effects. Spray treatments providing the best fly control were Lintox-D and Ra-Vap. The most economical products for use were Del-Tox, Lintox-D, and Ra-Vap.

Resistance status of house flies (Diptera: Muscidae) from southeastern Nebraska beef cattle feedlots to selected insecticides.
The status of resistance to three insecticides (permethrin, stirofos, and methoxychlor), relative to a laboratory-susceptible colony, was evaluated in field populations of house flies, Musca domestica L., collected from two beef cattle feedlots in southeastern Nebraska. Topical application and residual exposure to treated glass surfaces were suitable methods for determining the resistance statu...
متن کاملUse of Dichlorvos in a Portable Automatic Sprayer Mineral Station to Control Face Flies ( Diptera : Muscidae ) and Pyrethroid - Resistant Horn Flies ( Diptera : Muscidae ) on Beef Cattle '
J. Agric. Entomol. 9(4);273-281 (October 1992) ABSTRACT A portable automatic sprayer, actuated when cattle obtain mineral, was tested against face fiies and pyrethroid·resistanL horn nics using 0.5% Al dichlorvos in a waler spray mixture. Horn ny populations were initially 48-fold resistant to pCt-methrin with no '"esistancc to diazinon. Horn Oy control averaged 90.3 to 99.1% reduction. Resista...
متن کاملEvaluation of different insecticides and fabric types for development of treated targets for stable fly (Diptera: Muscidae) control.
Stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.) (Diptera: Muscidae), once only a pest of pastured cattle, has become a serious pest of range cattle in the United States. Because of the difficulties associated with stable fly management under range conditions, a pesticide-impregnated cloth target is being developed as a management tool. We conducted studies to determine the influence of weather, time, fabr...
متن کاملRelease of piperonyl butoxide and permethrin from synergized ear tags on cattle and effects on horn fly mortality.
A study was conducted to determine the release rates of piperonyl butoxide (PBO) and permethrin from synergized insecticidal cattle ear tags and their effects on mortality of the horn fly, Hematobia irritans irritans (L.) (Diptera: Muscidae). PBO was released from the ear tags at a higher rate than permethrin in both winter and summer trials. The cumulative release of PBO and permethrin from th...
متن کاملSelection for resistance to imidacloprid in the house fly (Diptera: Muscidae).
The house fly, Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae), continues to be a primary pest of livestock facilities worldwide. This pest also has shown a propensity for pesticide resistance development when under high selection pressures. In this study the house fly strain FDm was created by a 20% contribution from each of five colonies collected from dairies in Florida with known imidacloprid resist...
