金合欢醇和烟碱对苹果黄蚜联合毒杀作用

以苹果黄蚜Aphis citricolavander Goot为试虫，对金合欢醇和烟碱的联合杀蚜活性进行了测定，以期为开发植物源杀蚜剂产品奠定基础。室内毒力测定采用微量点滴法；田间药效试验参照国家标准进行。金合欢醇和烟碱混用具有明显的杀蚜增效作用，在最佳质量配比（金合欢醇:烟碱=4.82:1）下，共毒系数（CTC）达151.63；经过对溶剂、表面活性剂等助剂的筛选，研制出6%烟碱·金合欢醇可溶液剂，配方为金合欢醇（5%）、烟碱（1%）、表面活性剂（10%）、溶剂（84%），质量检测符合可溶液剂国家质量标准；田间药效试验表明，以126.0 g a.i./hm²常量喷雾，药后7 d对小麦上的麦长管蚜Sitobion avenae Fabricius和麦二叉蚜Schizaphis graminum（Rondani）混合种群的防效达87.80%，以115.5 g a.i./hm²常量喷雾，药后7 d对苹果黄蚜的防效在81%以上。可见，金合欢醇和烟碱复配具有显著的杀蚜增效作用，具有进一步开发潜力。     

龙须藤茎皮甲醇提取物生物活性初探

龙须藤Bauhinia championii在医用方面已证实具有良好的抗菌、消炎作用,但其在农用方面的活性研究还鲜有报道。本研究分别采用菌丝生长速率法和种子生物测定法,首次测定龙须藤茎皮甲醇提取物及分离组分对6种农业有害真菌和单、双子叶两种植物的生物活性。结果表明,龙须藤甲醇浸提物对水稻稻瘟病菌Magnaporthe oryzae有一定的抑制效果,对油菜Brassica napus和稗草Echinochloa crusgalli的根芽均没有抑制作用。但其甲醇浸提物中分离的大部分组分对供试病原菌和植物的根芽都表现出一定抑制作用。杀菌活性方面:10号组分对西瓜枯萎病菌Fusarium oxysporum和番茄早疫病菌Alternaria solani的抑制效果最好,抑制率分别达到80.0%和78.0%,除草活性方面:1～3号组分对油菜根的抑制率较高,达到50%以上,2号组分对稗草根的抑制效果最好,达到68%。可见,龙须藤茎皮提取物中含有具有良好杀菌活性和除草活性的物质。     

Management of Bemisia tabaci biotype B with botanical and mineral oils

While the toxic effects of neem, Azadirachta indica A. Juss, on Bemisia tabaci Genn. are well documented, few studies have evaluated other oils. We compared neem, sesame, citrus, castor, vegetable and mineral oils (1% v/v) to a chemical standard thiamethoxam (0.17 g A.I./L) against B. tabaci biotype B life stages on dry bean plants Phaseolus vulgaris L. under screenhouse conditions. Oils and thiamethoxam exhibited low ovicidal activity (<10% egg mortality). However, significant mortality occurred due to the residual activity to 1st instars that emerged from treated eggs. Overall, impacts of egg treatments were greatest for thiamethoxam (77% total mortality for eggs and 1st instars) compared with oils which were statistically similar (22–29% mortality). Larvicidal effect of oils (against 2nd instars) was greater than ovicidal effects. Highest nymphal mortality (>81%) was achieved with castor, sesame, citrus and neem oils, which was significantly greater than for thiamethoxam (65% mortality). Adult whiteflies were exposed to fresh and aged spray residues, rather than being sprayed directly. In this case, comparatively lower efficacy was achieved from oil treatments compared with thiamethoxam. While some mortality was observed from fresh residues of slow drying oils (up to 41% for castor oil), no significant control from any oil residues >3 days old was observed in our tests. The different route of exposure against adults likely reduced the effectiveness of oil treatments which act directly on the cuticle. In trials with viruliferous adult whiteflies exposed to fresh residues, none of the tested products completely prevented transmission of bean golden mosaic virus (BGMV). However, we noted reduced virus severity ratings from plants pre-treated with castor and citrus oil. We conclude that castor, sesame, citrus and neem oils have the potential to be used in whitefly management programs.     

Being exposed to low concentrations of pirimiphos-methyl and chlorfenapyr has detrimental effects on the mobility of Trogoderma granarium

BACKGROUND

Sublethal effects of insecticides may negatively affect several biological and behavioral traits of insects. The lethal effects of pirimiphos-methyl and chlorfenapyr have been previously showed on Trogoderma granarium, but little knowledge is available about their sublethal effects at low concentrations on both sexes. Herein, the sublethal effects of pirimiphos-methyl and chlorfenapyr on the mobility of T. granarium males and females were investigated.

RESULTS

Lethal concentration (LC) values of pirimiphos-methyl and chlorfenapyr were lower for T. granarium females than males. LC values on males were LC₁₀ = 0.000788 and 0.00139 mg active ingredient (a.i.) cm⁻², LC₃₀ = 0.00350 and 0.00535 mg a.i. cm⁻², and LC₅₀ = 0.00986 and 0.0136 mg a.i. cm⁻² for pirimiphos-methyl and chlorfenapyr respectively. LC on females were LC₁₀ = 0.000704 and 0.00110 mg a.i. cm⁻², LC₃₀ = 0.00323 and 0.00428 mg a.i. cm⁻², and LC₅₀ = 0.00925 and 0.0110 mg a.i. cm⁻² for pirimiphos-methyl and chlorfenapyr respectively. The walking duration of beetles exposed to LC₃₀ of pirimiphos-methyl was significantly lower than the individuals exposed to LC₁₀ and LC₃₀ of both insecticides and control ones. Pirimiphos-methyl LC₃₀-exposed males remained more time on their back (101.7 s) than females (46.9 s), while the latter stayed immobile longer than males (381.7 s versus 371.9 s). The highest speed was recorded for control beetles (14.17 mm s⁻¹ females vs. 12.44 mm s⁻¹ males), while the lowest speed was observed in pirimiphos-methyl LC₃₀-treated males (8.36 mm s⁻¹) and females (9.66 mm s⁻¹).

CONCLUSIONS

Overall, males and females exposed to low concentrations of pirimiphos-methyl and chlorfenapyr showed reduced motility. This knowledge can be exploited further to unlock behavioral effects of insecticides for effective pest management programs in warehouses. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.
