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...

An analytical method for the simultaneous determination of residues of eight neonicotinoid insecticides and two metabolites in honey using LC-MS/MS was developed and validated. Two approaches of sample preparation were investigated, with the final method involving acetonitrile extraction and subsequent cleanup by dispersive solid-phase extraction (QuEChERS type). Validation was based on quintup...

Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii, is an invasive insect pest that has spread into many fruit production regions of the world. Strategies to protect fruit from infestation by this insect are currently dominated by insecticide applications, so producers need information on relative efficacy and residual activity of insecticides to be able to select effective treatments. Semi-field bioa...

To control the Argentine ant, Linepithema humile Mayr, the effectiveness of three chemical products applied around structures in southern California was evaluated. Three products were tested and included: Demand® CS (lambda-cyhalothrin, Syngenta), Termidor® SC (fipronil, BASF), and TransportTM GHP (bifenthrin and acetamiprid, FMC Corp.). A licensed pest management professional applied each prod...

The aim of this work is to detect acetamiprid using electrochemical capacitance spectroscopy, which widely used as a pesticide in agriculture and harmful humans. We have designed aptasensing platform based on the adsorption DNA aptamer lipoic acid-modified MoS2 nano-sheets. biosensor takes advantage high affinity single-stranded sequences stability nano-sheets assured by covalent attachment aci...

Abstract Currently, more than 360 spray adjuvants are registered in Germany (September 2021). Unlike plant protection products (PPPs), not subjected to regulatory risk assessment. In practice, numerous combinations of PPPs and therefore possible. Thus, tank mixtures containing insecticides that classified as non-hazardous bees up the highest approved application rate or concentration may raise ...
