  • Impacts of Insecticides on Predatory Mite, Neoseiulus Fallacis (Acari: Phytoseidae) and Mite Flaring of European Red Mites, Panonychus Ulmi (Acari: Tetranychidae)
    IMPACTS OF INSECTICIDES ON PREDATORY MITE, NEOSEIULUS FALLACIS (ACARI: PHYTOSEIDAE) AND MITE FLARING OF EUROPEAN RED MITES, PANONYCHUS ULMI (ACARI: TETRANYCHIDAE) By Raja Zalinda Raja Jamil A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Entomology–Doctor of Philosophy 2014 ABSTRACT IMPACTS OF INSECTICIDES ON PREDATORY MITE, NEOSEIULUS FALLACIS (ACARI: PHYTOSEIDAE) AND MITE FLARING OF EUROPEAN RED MITES, PANONYCHUS ULMI (ACARI: TETRANYCHIDAE) By Raja Zalinda Raja Jamil Panonychus ulmi, the European red mite, is a major agricultural pest found in most deciduous fruit growing areas. It is the most important mite species attacking tree fruits in humid regions of North America. Bristle-like mouthparts of this mite species pierce the leaf cell wall and ingestion of their contents including chlorophyll causes bronzing injury to leaves. Heavy mite feeding early in the season (late Jun and July) reduce tree growth and yield as well as the fruit bud formation, thereby reduce yields the following year. Biological control of this pest species by predators has been a cornerstone of IPM. Phytoseiid mite, Neoseiulus fallacis (Garman) is the most effective predator mite in Michigan apple orchards and provides mid- and late-season biological control of European red mites. Achieving full potential of biological control in tree fruit has been challenging due to the periodic sprays of broad-spectrum insecticides. There have been cases of mite flaring reported by farmers in relation to the reduced-risk (RR) insecticides that were registered in commercial apple production in the past ten years. These insecticides are often used in fruit trees to control key direct pests such as the codling moth.

  • Toxicity of the Insect Growth Regulator Novaluron to the Non-Target Predatory Bug Podisus Maculiventris (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)
    Biological Control 38 (2006) 196–204 www.elsevier.com/locate/ybcon Toxicity of the insect growth regulator novaluron to the non-target predatory bug Podisus maculiventris (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) G.C. Cutler a,*, C.D. Scott-Dupree a, J.H. Tolman b, C.R. Harris a a Department of Environmental Biology, Ontario Agricultural College, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ont., Canada N1G 2W1 b Southern Crop Protection and Food Research Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, 1391 Sandford St., London, Ont., Canada N5V 4T3 Received 16 September 2005; accepted 22 December 2005 Available online 17 February 2006 Abstract Novaluron is a novel insect growth regulator that exhibits potent insecticidal activity against the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say). The predatory bug Podisus maculiventris (Say) is a natural enemy of the potato beetle found throughout North Amer- ica, and is widely available commercially. Anticipating the use of novaluron in L. decemlineata management, we conducted laboratory experiments to determine the susceptibility of P. maculiventris to novaluron. Although there was a 2- to 3-day delay in the onset of toxic effects, second instars were susceptible by direct contact and through exposure to potato foliage treated with field rates. When P. maculiventris eggs were dipped in field rate novaluron solutions, there was no significant effect on percent hatch, but there was subsequently a sharp decrease in the ability of hatched nymphs to molt. Similarly, fifth instars actively preyed on L. decemlineata larvae dipped in field rate novaluron solutions, but were thereafter unable to molt into adults. Female P. maculiventris adults caged with L. decemlineata larvae and novaluron treated potato plants had reduced longevity compared to those caged with untreated potato plants.

  • Fate of Pyriproxyfen in Soils and Plants
    toxics Review Fate of Pyriproxyfen in Soils and Plants James Devillers CTIS, 3 Chemin de la Gravière, 69140 Rillieux-La-Pape, France; [email protected] Received: 17 February 2020; Accepted: 10 March 2020; Published: 13 March 2020 Abstract: Since the 1990s, the insect growth regulator pyriproxyfen has been widely used worldwide as a larvicide in vector control and in agriculture to fight a very large number of pests. Due to its widespread use it is of first importance to know how pyriproxyfen behaves in the terrestrial ecosystems. This was the goal of this work to establish the fate profile of pyriproxyfen in soils and plants. Thus, in soil, pyriproxyfen photodegrades slowly but its aerobic degradation is fast. The insecticide presents a high tendency to adsorb onto soils and it is not subject to leaching into groundwater. On the contrary its two main metabolites (40-OH-Pyr and PYPAC) show a different fate in soil. When sprayed to plants, pyriproxyfen behaves as a translaminar insecticide. Its half-life in plants ranges from less than one week to about three weeks. The review ends by showing how the fate profile of pyriproxyfen in soils and plants influences the adverse effects of the molecule on non-target organisms. Keywords: pyriproxyfen; soil; plant; metabolites; insect growth regulator; endocrine disruptor; terrestrial ecosystems 1. Introduction The behavior of pesticides in soils is under the dependence of physical, chemical, and biological processes including volatilization, sorption–desorption, aerobic and anaerobic degradation, uptake and release by plants, run-off, and leaching. These various complex processes control the transport of pesticides within the soil and their transfer from the soil to the other environmental compartments [1–3].

  • The Background Documents Referred to in This Chapter May Be Found on the Water
    12 Chemical fact sheets he background documents referred to in this chapter may be found on the Water TSanitation and Health website at http://www.who.int/water_sanitation_health/ dwq/guidelines/en/. 12.1 Acrylamide Residual acrylamide monomer occurs in polyacrylamide coagulants used in the treat- ment of drinking-water. In general, the maximum authorized dose of polymer is 1mg/litre. At a monomer content of 0.05%, this corresponds to a maximum theoret- ical concentration of 0.5mg/litre of the monomer in water. Practical concentrations may be lower by a factor of 2–3. This applies to the anionic and non-ionic polyacry- lamides, but residual levels from cationic polyacrylamides may be higher. Polyacry- lamides are also used as grouting agents in the construction of drinking-water reservoirs and wells. Additional human exposure might result from food, owing to the use of polyacrylamide in food processing and the potential formation of acrylamide in foods cooked at high temperatures. Guideline value 0.0005 mg/litre (0.5 mg/litre) Occurrence Concentrations of a few micrograms per litre have been detected in tap water. Basis of guideline Combined mammary, thyroid and uterine tumours observed in derivation female rats in a drinking-water study, and using the linearized multistage model Limit of detection 0.032 mg/litre by GC; 0.2 mg/litre by HPLC; 10 mg/litre by HPLC with UV detection Treatment achievability Conventional treatment processes do not remove acrylamide. Acrylamide concentrations in drinking-water are controlled by limiting either the acrylamide content of polyacrylamide flocculants or the dose used, or both.

  • The Efficacy of a Chitin Synthesis Inhibitor Against Field Populations of Organophosphate-Resistant Aedes Aegypti in Brazil
    Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz, Rio de Janeiro, Vol. 107(3): 387-395, May 2012 387 The efficacy of a chitin synthesis inhibitor against field populations of organophosphate-resistant Aedes aegypti in Brazil Nathalia Giglio Fontoura1,2, Diogo Fernandes Bellinato1,2, Denise Valle1,2, José Bento Pereira Lima1,2/+ 1Laboratório de Fisiologia e Controle de Artrópodes Vetores, Instituto Oswaldo Cruz-Fiocruz, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brasil 2Laboratório de Entomologia, Instituto de Biologia do Exército, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brasil The mosquito Aedes aegypti is the main focus of dengue control campaigns. Because of widespread resistance against conventional chemical insecticides, chitin synthesis inhibitors (CSIs) are considered control alternatives. We evaluated the resistance status of four Brazilian Ae. aegypti populations to both the organophosphate temephos and the pyrethroid deltamethrin, which are used in Brazil to control larvae and adults, respectively. All vector populations exhibited high levels of temephos resistance and varying rates of alterations in their susceptibility to pyrethroids. The effect of the CSI novaluron on these populations was also investigated. Novaluron was effective against all populations under laboratory conditions. Field-simulated assays with partial water replacement were conducted to evaluate novaluron persistence. Bioassays were continued until an adult emergence inhibition of at least 70% was attained. We found a residual effect of eight weeks under indoor conditions and novaluron persisted for five-six weeks in assays conducted in an external area. Our data show that novaluron is effective against the Ae. aegypti populations tested, regardless of their resistance to conventional chemical insecticides.

It acquired resistance against most of the conventional pesticides. Therefore, the present study was conducted to evaluate the toxic and developmental effects of Novaluron (concentration range: 5.0-0.05 ppm) on this insect pest. LC50 values were estimated in 0.187 ppm and 0.765 ppm, after treatment of newly hatched and full grown larvae, respectively. Novaluron exhibited a retarding effect on the development, especially after treatment of full grown larvae, since larval and pupal durations had been remarkably prolonged, in a dose-dependent manner. Novaluron failed to affect the metamorphosis after treatment of the newly hatched larvae but disrupted it after treatment of full grown larvae (larval-pupal intermediates). The pupation was considerably hindered, especially after treatment of full grown larvae. The pupal morphogenesis was deranged (deformed pupae) after treatment of only newly hatched larvae. Therefore, Novaluron forms an important component in the integrated pest management program for this insect pest which has developed resistance to the majority of conventional insecticides.
