Chitin synthesis inhibitors are successfully used in pest control and an excellent option for integrated management programs due to their low non-target effects. However, field-evolved resistance of lepidopteran pests chitin the selection laboratory-resistant strains these products has been already reported. Therefore, support efficient it is necessary expand knowledge on mechanisms potential m...

the aim of this study was to determine the environmental risk of pesticide a.i. applied to control insects and fungus in cereal farming in sanliurfa, turkey. in 2013, 8 active ingredients (a.i.) in cereal farming were applied for insect and fungus control in sanliurfa, turkey. these a.i. were alpha-cypermethrin(ec), chlorpyrifos(ec;wp), difenoconazole(ec), indoxacarb(wg), lambda-cyhalothrin(ec)...

Maize is the third most important grass produced in world after wheat and rice. Among limitations of its production, fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) considered relevant pest which corn main host plant. During dry rainy seasons 2021-2022, lots 1200 m2 were planted including three commercial hybrids, ADV-9139, Trueno NB-7443, INIAP-551 treatments evaluated: T1:...

Prior to registration of crop protection products (CPPs) their persistence in soil has to be determined under defined conditions. For this purpose, soils are collected in the field and stored for up to 3 months prior to the tests. During storage, stresses like drying may induce changes in microbiological soil characteristics (MSCs) and thus may influence CPP degradation rates. We investigated t...

BACKGROUND In order to increase our knowledge on the susceptibility of entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) species to agrochemicals, the compatibility of the infective juveniles (IJs) of the EPN (Steinernema and Heterorhabditis) with eight chemical and bio-insecticides was investigated under laboratory conditions. The effect of direct IJ exposure to insecticides for 6 and 24 h was tested in a Petri...

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 ...
