The experiment was performed using termite workers of H. indicola to which these insecticides were dipped in blotting paper once only, in start with the following concentration i.e. 0.000312, 0.000156, 0.00078, 0.00039 and 0.000195%. The total mean percent of mortality after ten days results concluded that Regent (Fipronil 5% SC) was 91.79, 86.40, 78.94, 74.18 and 62.06%, while Tracer (Spinosad 240 SC) was 72.60, 63.53, 60.60, 59.06 and 28.60%, and finally Match (Lufenuron 5% EC) was 49.40, 31.06, 26.19, 22.18 and 10.66%, repectively. Maximum mortality and avoidance was obtained by toxicity of Regent, as it was capable of obtaining 100% mortality even before day ten on every concentration therefore, Regent was considered highly toxic. Tracer was found to be slow acting agent. 100% mortality was recorded by using the 1st concentration of Tracer on day 7, on day 9 by using the 2nd concentration, while on day 10 by using the 3rd concentration of Regent. Match was unable to cause 100% mortality by using any of the tested concentrations.

    Efficacy of Experimental Insecticides for Insect Control in Cotton Grown in the Low Desert Region of Arizona, 1997 Item Type text; Article Authors Kerns, David L.; Tellez, Tony Publisher College of Agriculture, University of Arizona (Tucson, AZ) Journal Cotton: A College of Agriculture Report Download date 01/10/2021 05:26:34 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/10150/210389 Efficacy of Experimental Insecticides for Insect Control in Cotton Grown in the Low Desert Region of Arizona, 1997 David L. Kerns and Tony Tellez Abstract Experimental insecticides were evaluated for control of lygus bugs relative to commercial standards in cotton. These products were also evaluated for activity towards whiteflies and pink bollworms. CGA293343 was not effective when used as a side -dress material at layby, but was effective toward whiteflies, and towards lygus at higher foliar rates. Regent, Vydate and Mustang + Thiodan were highly effective for lygus control, while EXP61096A and Mustang alone performed poorly. Against whiteflies, CGA293343, Acetamiprid, and Mustang + Thiodan were most efficacious, while Mustang alone and with Thiodan were most effective towards pink bollworms. Introduction Lygus bug, Lygus hesperus Knight, sweet potato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) and pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders) are all key pests of cotton grown in Arizona. Lygus is primarily a pest form the beginning of squaring until mid -plant boll maturity after which damage is usually of little economic concern. Currently, lygus is controlled using broad -spectrum insecticides such as pyrethroids, organophosphates or carbamates. Insecticide resistance in much of Arizona has led to much interest in alternative insecticides such as the chloronicotynl, Provado.

Due to increased development, pesticides, and habi- tat destruction, native bees that pollinated many of our crops are in decline (Buchmann and Nabhan 1996). Crop production in the U.S. has shifted to large monocultures, pollinated almost entirely by com- mercially managed colonies of the honey bee, Apis mellifera. Large beekeepers transport thousands of bee colonies long distances to pro- vide crop pollination throughout the U.S. (USHR 2007; 2008; NAS 2007). Large numbers of bees are needed for pollination, and available colonies are overworked.

  • Beekeeping Coordination
    3 July 2013 Facts and figures for an informed opinion on fipronil. The review of the risk assessment of fipronil revealed several concerns for bees. As for neonicotinoids, the EU Commission has proposed to ban fipronil for certain uses in the EU market. By mid July 2013, Member States must vote again for the stake of our ecosystems and our health. If Member States want to be consequent with the precautionary principle, they will support the EU Commission in their proposal. What is fipronil? Fipronil is an insecticide from the group of phenyl-pyrazoles or fiproles. In the EU farming sector, fipronil is only applied as seed treatment. Regent®, Mundial® or Cosmos® are some of the commercial names. Fipronil is also used to treat fleas and ticks on companion animals e.g. Frontline®. Fipronil was put on the market in 1993. Nowadays, fiproles' market share has hugely increased worldwide (Jeschke et al 2011). In which Member States is fipronil authorised? Slovakia, Hungary, Spain, Bulgaria, Czech republic, Belgium and the Netherlands currently authorise fipronil-containing seed dressing. For more detailed information on their specific uses, see EFSA report on fipronil, p36 (EFSA, 2013). Why are Member States going to vote on fipronil? The story is very similar to that of neonicotinoids: • After a first risk assessment, fipronil was authorised at EU level in 2007. Before this period, fipronil was individually authorised by Members States, which made their own risk assessment. • Due to new scientific and technical knowledge and monitoring data, the EU Commission asked EFSA for a reassessment of the risks that fipronil poses to bees.
