habrobracon hebetor say (hymenoptera: braconidae) as an ectoparasitoid of larval stage of lepidopterous pests is widely used in biological control programs. in the present research, the effect of field recommended doses of imidacloprid, indoxacarb and deltamethrin were studied on life table parameters of h. hebetor in pupal stage treatment. one hundred, two-day-old pupae were treated with 1 mic...

Abstract In the study, topical application (1 µl/bee), contact (5 ml/pot/10 bees) and residual effects of eight insecticides (Methiocarb, Alphacypermethrin, Indoxacarb, Spinosad, Thiacloprid + Deltamethrin, Thiamethoxam, Thiamethoxam Lambda-Cyhalothrin Zeta Cypermethrin), which are commonly used in pest control hazelnut cultivation, were investigated on Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera:Apidae). T...

2-Pyrazolines display a broad spectrum of potential pharmacological activities and are present in a number of pharmacologically active molecules such as phenazone/ amidopyrene/ methampyrone (analgesic and antipyretic), azolid/ tandearil (anti-inflammatory), indoxacarb (insecticide) and anturane (uricosuric). Changes in their structure have offered a high degree of diversity that has proven usef...

BACKGROUND Developing scientifically valid, economically acceptable insecticide resistance management (IRM) programs is critical for sustainable insect management. The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.), has demonstrated an ability to develop resistance to many different classes of insecticides, including proteins produced by the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bt). Recently ...

The Arkansas recommendation for Heliothine control is to use the higher recommended rates when a cotton production area is under heavy Heliothine pressure (Greene, 2003). However, Heliothine resistance to pyrethroid insecticides has been documented several times in the past few years (Payne et al., 2001; Williams,1999). Tank mixing pyrethroids with non-pyrethroids has been shown to be effective...

Spodoptera exigua, which feeds on various crops worldwide, has natural enemies that are susceptible to the insecticides used against S. exigua. We investigate the toxicity and residue risk of 9 insecticides on the development of H. axyridis, C. sinica, S. manilae and T. remus. S. manilae and T. remus adults were sensitive to all 9 insecticides (LC50 less than 2.75 mg a.i. liter-1), while H. axy...
