Study Confirms Efficacy of Three Insecticides to Fight Fall Armyworm As Part of IPM
A new study conducted has confirmed the efficacy of three insecticides to fight the fall armyworm pest as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan, reports Krishak Jagat.
The research was carried out by scientists from Anhui-CABI Joint Laboratory for Agricultural Pest Control, Institute of Plant Protection and Agro-Products Safety, Anhui Academy of Agricultural Sciences, in collaboration with the MARA-CABI Joint Laboratory for Biosafety and CABI.
The investigation assessed the possible sublethal effects of insecticides tetrachlorantraniliprole, spinetoram and lufenuron on the biological parameters of the fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda).
It found that tetrachlorantraniliprole, spinetoram and lufenuron increased egg reproduction of the fall armyworm but negatively affect larval survival rate, and spinetoram and lufenuron caused early maturity.
The results of this study, published in the journal Crop Protection, suggest that low-lethal concentration exposure to insecticides negatively impacts the life table parameters of S. frugiperda and those three insecticides from different modes of action cannot cause resurgence of the pest.
