This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Laboratory-Field Method for Testing Codling Moth Insecticides For the main experiments Grimes and Jonathan trees 19 to 23 years old have been employed. Enough trees (usually 4 to 8) are employed to provide plenty of fruit for sampling. This may run up to apples on certain plots where both biological and chemical data are to be obtained. Sprays are applied with equipment and at pressures which represent average conditions for the area, and all parts of the trees are sprayed to or slightly beyond the point where run-off begins. Spraying is done by personnel of the Division of Fruit Insect Investigations, and the man in charge actively participates. Obviously, the risk of errors in mixing and of anything less than thorough Spraying (which might introduce extreme or uncontrolled variation, thereby endangering the accuracy of all biological and chemical data subsequently collected) is somewhat lessened when he does his share of the spraying. He is then better able to interpret unexpected developments, of which there are many. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Detection and Characterization of Resistance to Pesticides in Codling Moth  Cydia Pomonella L  from Oregon

Download or read book Detection and Characterization of Resistance to Pesticides in Codling Moth Cydia Pomonella L from Oregon written by Muhammad Arshad and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toxicological studies were carried out to evaluate the susceptibility of codling moth, Cydia pomonella L. to different insecticides. Bioassay procedures for adults and larvae were standardized in terms of posttreatment holding and temperature, age and sex of insects, insecticide formulations and selection of a reference strain. This study detected a low level of resistance to azinphosmethyl in codling moth from Oregon. The LD50 value of the most susceptible strain was 0.038 ug AI/moth, while that of the most resistant population was approximately 4.3 times higher as determined by the topical application method on pheromone traps. The adult topical bioassay using moths reared in the laboratory showed that two of the seven strains tested (Crippens and Medford) had 4-5 fold higher LD50 values than reference (Saint Cloud) strain. In the topical and residual studies with first instar larvae, similar but slightly lower differences were observed among the different populations. There was a strong indication of low levels of resistance in populations to diazinon and fenvalerate in topical tests applied to both males and females. However, there was no significant difference for carbaryl or endosulfan. Larval topical bioassays showed a significant difference only to diazinon. Correlation analysis suggests that a degree of cross-resistance exists between azinphosmethyl and diazinon and to some extent to fenvalerate. Codling moths exposed to the residues of diflubenzuron showed a maximum of 2-fold difference between the susceptible and resistant populations. The differences were visible in terms of egg hatch and first instar larval entries. The pupal and adult stages emerging from the treated apples exposed to ovipositing females showed insignificant sublethal effects. A strong positive correlation between the resistance to azinphosmethyl and resistance to diflubenzuron was noticed. Selection of codling moths for resistance to diflubenzuron for six generations in the laboratory decreased susceptibility by 5-fold. Application of synergists such as PBO and DEF, combined with azinphosmethyl and diflubenzuron, showed slightly different effects on all strains of codling moth. Use of PBO (a P-450 inhibiting compound) with azinphosmethyl and diflubenzuron did not change toxicity of either of the compounds. However, the combination of DEF (an esterase inhibiting compound) with the insecticides significantly increased the toxicity of azinphosmethyl and to some extent diflubenzuron. The maximum synergistic ratios obtained were 8 and 2 for azinphosmethyl and diflubenzuron, respectively. These results indicate a possible involvement of esterases in development of resistance in codling moth to azinphosmethyl and maybe to diflubenzuron. The optimal synergistic ratio determined on a resistant strain of codling moth to various combinations of azinphosmethyl and DEF was 1:4 (50 ppm of azinphosmethyl 200 ppm of DEF). The phytotoxicity studies on young apple trees showed that DEF should be used at or below 500 ppm to avoid phytotoxicity while maintaining effective control of codling moth with a reduced dose of azinphosmethyl.

Book Pesticide Resistance in Arthropods

Download or read book Pesticide Resistance in Arthropods written by Richard Roush and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bruce E. Tabashnik and Richard T. Roush Pesticide resistance is an increasingly urgent worldwide problem. Resistance to one or more pesticides has been documented in more than 440 species of insects and mites. Resistance in vectors of human dise8se, particularly malaria-transmit ting mosquitoes, is a serious threat to public health in many nations. Agricultural productivity is jeopardized because of widespread resistance in crop and livestock pests. Serious resistance problems are also evident in pests of the urban environ ment, most notably cockroaches. Better understanding of pesticide resistance is needed to devise techniques for managing resistance (Le. , slowing, preventing, or reversing development of resistance in pests and promoting it in beneficial natural enemies). At the same time, resistance is a dramatic example of evolution. Knowledge of resistance can thus provide fundamental insights into evolution, genetics, physiology, and ecology. Resistance management can help to reduce the harmful effects of pesticides by decreasing rates of pesticide use and prolonging the efficacy of environmentally safe pesticides. In response to resistance problems, the concentration or frequency of pesticide applications is often increased. Effective resistance management would reduce this type of increased pesticide use. Improved monitoring of resis tance would also decrease the number of ineffective pesticide applications that are made when a resistance problem exists but has not been diagnosed. Resistance often leads to replacement of one pesticide with another that is more expensive and less compatible with alternative controls.

Book Chemistry of Pesticides

Download or read book Chemistry of Pesticides written by N. N. Melnikov and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was originally published as a Russian edition in mid-1968. It represented the first single-volume discussion of chemical pest control and of the detailed chemistry.of all modern pesticide chemicals since D. E. H. Frear's classical book on this same subject, first published in 1942 (van No strand) with the latest (third) edition in 1955. Since 1955 many new pesti cide chemicals have achieved commercial status, and many of the older ones have been supplanted. There is no up-to-date equivalent of this present volume in the world literature, with the exception of the encyclopedic and largely biologically oriented two-volume work "Chemie der Pflanzenschutz und Schadlingsbekampfungsmittel" (R. Wegler, ed.) published by Springer Verlag in 1970. Professor Melnikov has updated the 1968 Russian edition, with emphasis on the primary Russian sources yet with excellent world wide coverage of the latest chemicals to approach field stature in modern chemical pest control, for the present translation."
