The Nantucket pine tip moth, Rhyaciona frustrana (Comstock), a common regeneration pest of loblolly pine, Pinus taeda L., has been shown to reduce tree volume yields through larval feeding. Chemical applications can be effective in protecting trees from the growth losses associated with this feeding, and optimum spray timing values are commonly used to reduce the number of necessary application...

The synthetic pyrethroid derivatives permethrin and cyhalothrin are widely used insecticides that are considered to be relatively nontoxic to higher animals. However, a variety of toxic effects on mammals have been reported. We investigated the effect of these drugs on energy coupling by mitochondria and on the activity of the individual respiratory complexes. Using isolated rat liver mitochond...

Insecticides resistance against fourteen field populations of Bactrocera zonata (Saunders) (Diptera: Tephritidae) from Chichawatni, District Sahiwal, Pakistan to six insecticides viz., trichlorfon, malathion (Organophosphates), bifenthrin, lambda-cyhalothrin (Pyrethorids) , methomyl (Carbamate) and spinosad (Microbial) was assessed by topical assay under laboratory conditions. In insecticides b...

Liriomyza leafminers (Diptera: Agromyzidae) are cosmopolitan, polyphagous pests of horticultural plants and many are resistant to insecticides. Producers in South Texas rely on insecticides as the primary management tool for leafminers, and several compounds are available. The objective of this study is to address the efficacy of these compounds for controlling Liriomyza while minimizing their ...

Corn (Zea mays L.) is cultivated in large areas and considered one of the world’s major cereal crops. There are several arthropod pests that can reduce its production such as the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lep.: Noctuidae), which is considered to be the main pest for corn. Fall armyworm is primarily controlled by insecticides. The use of biological control agents to mana...

Background: Widespread applications of pesticides such as Lambda cyhalothrin to boost crops production have frequently led contamination the fresh water ecosystem in Nigeria.
 Materials and Methods: In this study, Clarias gariepinus were exposed sub-lethal concentrations Lambda-cyhalothrin pesticide. The 96 h LC50 lambda fish was estimated at 3.98mgl-1. Mortality 100% 10% observed 12.00 mg...

Abstract The control of the Mediterranean fruit fly (Medfly), Ceratitis capitata , in citrus orchards Spain is mainly based three insecticides (spinosad, lambda-cyhalothrin and deltamethrin) liberation sterile males. However, Medfly compromised by development resistance detection spinosad-resistant alleles field populations. We report here, for first time, to deltamethrin populations collected ...

Pesticides have been used to treat agricultural lands since ancient times. The effects of an organophosphate (OP) and pyrethroid combination on the haemato-biochemical histological functions male albino rats were investigated. Male (total 18 rats, 12 are treated 6 control) dermally with two combinations for 8 weeks (chlorpyrifos, chlorpyrifos-methyl, lambda-cyhalothrin). We also looked at organ...

The present study was carried out at the research field of Department Entomology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur, Bangladesh, during tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) growing seasons 2021 and 2022 to evaluate pest management benefit 4 insecticides, viz. Karate 2.5 ec (λ-cyhalothrin), Ripcord 10 (cypermethrin), Marshal 20 (carbosulfan), Shobicron 425 (profenofo...
