测定了吡虫啉、鱼藤酮、阿维菌素和印楝素4种杀虫剂对桃蚜及其捕食性天敌异色瓢虫成虫的相对毒力。4种药剂对桃蚜的毒力大小依次为阿维菌素＞吡虫啉＞鱼藤酮＞印楝素,其LC50分别为0.042、1.96、6.54和10.17 mg/L。对异色瓢虫的LC50则分别为1009.42、201.89、8202.90和大于7500 mg/L,益害毒性比分别为24033.81、103.01、1254.27和大于786.63。4种药剂在有效防治桃蚜的前提下对天敌异色瓢虫的安全性依次为阿维菌素＞鱼藤酮＞印楝素＞吡虫啉。阿维菌素、吡虫啉、印楝素和鱼藤酮这4种药剂均可在蚜虫综合治理中发挥有效的作用。     

植物性杀虫剂印楝的研究进展

对植物性杀虫剂印楝的研究正在向两个方向发展, 一是深入到分子毒理水平, 进行结构与活性关系的研究; 另一方面是研究其在害虫防治中的应用。文章就目前印楝制剂的使用技术研究状况作了评述。由于植物性杀虫剂在作用方式和作用机制上与有机合成杀虫剂有一定的差别, 对害虫的作用靶标有所不同, 因此, 在剂型和药剂分散体系的设计上也有所不同,对这些相关领域进行深入研究, 将能更有效地发挥包括印楝在内的植物性杀虫剂在田间的使用效果, 是植物性杀虫剂研究中一个非常重要的内容。     

马拉硫磷亚致死浓度对大豆蚜虫实验种群生理特征和生命表参数的影响

大豆蚜虫是危害大豆的重要害虫,马拉硫磷作为有效防治大豆蚜虫的杀虫剂之一,不仅可以在致死浓度下直接杀死大豆蚜虫,其在亚致死浓度下还会引起大豆蚜虫生理和行为的改变。分析了马拉硫磷3个亚致死浓度(0.05、0.10和0.20 mg/L)对大豆蚜虫生理特征和生命表参数的影响。结果表明:马拉硫磷在0.20 mg/L下处理大豆蚜虫后,其若蚜的发育历期(7.48 d±0.18 d)比对照的(5.78 d±0.30 d)显著延长;同时成蚜的生殖期、寿命和全世代周期也分别比对照的缩短了4、6和4 d。在0.10 mg/L处理下,马拉硫磷可刺激大豆蚜虫生殖功能,单头产蚜总量比对照组提高24%;但当浓度增加到0.20 mg/L时,单头产蚜总量却比对照组降低37%。生命表参数结果显示:0.20 mg/L的马拉硫磷可显著降低大豆蚜虫的净增值率(R0)、内禀增长率(rm)和周限增长率(λ),但显著增加种群倍增时间(Dt);0.10 mg/L的处理情况则相反;0.05 mg/L处理的各项指标与对照间无显著差异。

Toxicity of indoxacarb and spinosad to the multicolored Asian lady beetle, Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), via three routes of exposure

The use of selective insecticides may improve conservation of natural enemies and therefore contribute to the success of integrated pest management (IPM) programs. In this study, the toxicity of two commonly used selective insecticides, indoxacarb and spinosad, to the multicolored Asian lady beetle, Harmonia axyridis (Pallas), was evaluated. Third instars and adults of H. axyridis were exposed to indoxacarb at 50 and 100% of the field rate (FR), to spinosad at 100% FR and to water (untreated check) under laboratory conditions via three routes of exposure. Treatments were applied directly on insects (i.e., topical application), on Petri dishes (i.e., residues), or on soybean aphids, Aphis glycines Matsumara (i.e., treated prey). Mortality of exposed individuals in each life stage was recorded 2 and 7 days after treatment. Logistic regression indicated that indoxacarb at 100% FR, followed by indoxacarb at 50% FR, was more insecticidal than spinosad to third instars. Mortality was higher when H. axyridis were exposed to both insecticides via residues followed by treated prey. Indoxacarb at 100 or 50% FR was insecticidal to adults. Adults were tolerant to spinosad via all routes of exposure. The present results suggest that indoxacarb may decrease H. axyridis field populations by causing mortality to larvae and adults via all routes of exposure. Implications of the toxicity of indoxacarb to H. axyridis within an IPM context and possible reasons for the differences in susceptibility of H. axyridis for each route of exposure are discussed.     

Effect of azadirachtin applied systemically through roots of plants on the mortality,development and fecundity of the cabbage aphid (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Brevicoryne brassicae</Emphasis>)

The effect of low concentrations of azadirachtin applied systemically through root tissues of rape plants (Brassica napus subsp.napus) on the mortality, period of development, longevity and fecundity of the cabbage aphid (Brevicoryne brassicae L.) (Sternorrhyncha: Aphididae) was studied. The concentrations of azadirachtin A tested were: 0.25, 0.05, 0.005, 0.0005 and 0.00005 mg ml⁻¹. The mortality of cabbage aphid nymphs, particularly during the period of ecdysis, increased significantly with increasing concentrations. Azadirachtin had no effect on the length of the development period of the respective immature stages of cabbage aphids. The average longevity of the cabbage aphids decreased with increasing azadirachtin concentration and time spent feeding. The fecundity of aphids decreased after the application of azadirachtin. http://www.phytoparasitica.org posting May 6, 2004.     

Toxicity of biorational insecticides to Helicoverpa spp. (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and predators in cotton field

Field trials on upland cotton (Gossypium hirstum L.) during its reproductive phase were used to assess the toxicity of several biorational pesticides and chemicals to Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) and H. puntigera Wallengren, as well as major predators at Dalby, Queensland, Australia. Moderate rate-dependent control was obtained in plots treated with neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) seed extract-azadirachtin (Aza) at rates of 30, 60 and 90 g/ha. Plots treated with Talstar EC (bifenthrin) applications achieved the best results, followed by treatment with alternation of chemicals (methomyl, bifenthrin, thiodicarb and endosulfan) and biorational insecticides (neem oil, azadirachtin and Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki var. Berliner). Predators, including lady beetles, lacewings, spiders and predatory bugs, were insensitive to Aza, tooseendanin (Tsdn) andBT applications. In contrast, chemicals were very destructive of predators. All treatments provided some protection from infestation of H. armigera and H. puntigera. The effect of Aza on Helicoverpa spp. was reflected in a relatively higher yield of seed cotton harvested from Aza-treated plots compared with the control, but chemical control achieved significantly higher yields than any other treatment.     

应用楝科植物防治柑桔害虫试验

本文应用楝科植物(印楝、川楝、苦楝)种籽油及其抽提物对柑桔木虱及其他害虫进行一系列的忌避拒食及触杀作用试验,证明印楝油有明显的忌避及拒食作用。印楝油对柑桔潜叶蛾有良好的防效。印楝、川楝及苦楝油对柑桔红蜘蛛也有较强的触杀作用。应用楝科植物杀虫剂可兼治几种害虫,对人畜安全,不污染环境,不会引起抗药性的产生,而且对害虫天敌也比较安全。     

异色瓢虫显明变种对荻草谷网蚜和禾谷缢管蚜捕食选择性研究

在实验室条件下,在特定空间内,测定异色瓢虫显明变种对两种蚜虫荻草谷网蚜和禾谷缢管蚜不同密度值下的捕食量。结果表明,荻草谷网蚜和禾谷缢管蚜种群数量同步增加时,EG-S值和EI值变化是从1到∞,EI值是在0到+1范围内依次增加,表明异色瓢虫显明变种喜好捕食荻草谷网蚜明显高于禾谷缢管蚜;荻草谷网蚜数量不变,禾谷缢管蚜数量增加时,EG-S值和EI值是从+1到0,EI值从-1到0范围内依次减少,表明异色瓢虫显明变种明显喜好捕食禾谷缢管蚜;禾谷缢管蚜数量不变,荻草谷网蚜数量增加时,EG-S值和EI值变化从+1到∞,EI值在0到+1范围内依次增加,表明异色瓢虫显明变种明显喜好捕食荻草谷网蚜。捕食量结果同选择指数。     

几种常用杀虫剂对异色瓢虫的敏感性测定

在实验室及田间罩笼条件下，进行了异色瓢虫对8种杀虫剂的敏感性测定。结果显示：8种供试药剂对异色瓢虫幼虫的毒性（LC50值）差异很大，矿物油类药剂敢死虫对异色瓢虫最安全，其LC5。值高于其田间常用有效剂量；苦参素植物保护剂、吡虫啉、阿维菌素对异色瓢虫成虫的LC50值也高于各自的田间使用剂量，但对幼虫的LC50值却介于推荐的田间有效剂量与高限剂量之间，对瓢虫幼虫安全有一定威胁。     

The commercial use of azadirachtin and its integration into viable pest control programmes

With the continued robust growth of the global biopesticide market, azadirachtin is uniquely positioned to become a key insecticide to expand in this market segment. In the USA the actual or impending cancellation of some organophosphate and carbamate insecticides that have either lost patent protection or are not being re-registered in many markets because of the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996, has opened new opportunities for biopesticides and reduced-risk pesticides in general. The broad-spectrum activity of azadirachtin at low use rates (12·5 to 40 g AI ha^-1) coupled with the insect growth regulator activity (in all larval/nymphal instars including the pupal stage) and unique mode of action (ecdysone disruptor), make azadirachtin an ideal candidate for insecticide resistance, integrated pest control and organic pest control programmes. Azadirachtin has been exempted from residue tolerance requirements by the US Environmental Protection Agency for food crop applications. Azadirachtin exhibits good efficacy against key pests such as whiteflies, leafminers, fungus gnats, thrips, aphids and many leaf-eating caterpillars. Azadirachtin has minimal to no impact on non-target organisms, is compatible with other biological control agents and has a good fit into classical Integrated Pest Management programmes. The world's largest azadirachtin extraction facility has been fully commissioned in India to process over 10,000 tonnes neem seeds per annum. This will ensure the wide availability of azadirachtin technical grade material in the future. © 1998 Society of Chemical Industry.     

Effect of uneven application of azadirachtin on reproductive and anti-feedant behaviour of Rhyzopertha dominica (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae)

The effects of uneven application of an azadirachtin-enriched neem extract to wheat grain on the reproduction and feeding behaviour in Rhyzopertha dominica (F) were investigated. The evenness of distribution amongst individual wheat grains during grain treatment was not important in ensuring its effectiveness as an anti-feedant or as an insect growth regulator, provided that, overall, the grain was treated with an effective level of azadirachtin. The effect of azadirachtin on reproduction was not improved when the diluent application rates were increased from 0.5 ml kg⁻¹ to 5 ml kg⁻¹. Treating 10% of the grain was shown to provide the same level of protection as treating 100% of the grain. The anti-feedant effect of azadirachtin on the beetle was also unaffected by unevenness of treatment, provided that 50% of the grain was treated. The fact that azadirachtin remains effective even when application to grain is uneven may be advantageous in field situations where uniform distribution of insecticides is difficult to achieve. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry     

Microbiological and Chemical Analysis of Neem (Azadirachta indica) Extracts: New Data on Antimicrobial Activity

The antimicrobial effects of extracts of neem seed (Azadirachta indica A. Juss.) were investigated using microbial growth inhibition assays. A laboratory-prepared neem seed extract along with a commercially available formulated product, were characterized using HPLC, and shown to be effective against a range of bacteria in an agar diffusion assay. The active ingredient,i.e., the unformulated seed extract of the commercial product, also showed activity and this was further investigated in a biochromatogram, using the sensitive bacteriumBacillus mycoides. Results showed antibacterial activity as three discrete inhibition zones that did not correspond to the R_f of the major neem metabolites, azadirachtin, nimbin and salannin. This suggests that these compounds were not antibacterial. The colony radial growth rates of the fungal pathogens that cause ‘take-all’ and ‘snow mould’ disease were both significantly affected when the commercial, unformulated, neem seed extract was incorporated into the growth medium. Experiments in liquid culture suggested that the effect was fungistatic. Conidial germination of the commercially important obligate pathogenSphaerotheca fuliginea (powdery mildew) was reduced to 11%. The results show that neem seed extracts possess antimicrobial activity with notable effects on some fungal phytopathogens. This Work demonstrates that neem seed extracts have potential for controlling both microbial and insect pests. http://www.phytoparasitica.org posting Sept. 16,2001.     

Lethal and sublethal effects of the neem insecticide formulation, ‘Margosan-O’, on the pea aphid

The effects of ‘Margosan-O’ (MO) on the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris), were determined. MO significantly reduced population increase of A. pisum in a concentration-dependent manner. At a concentration equivalent to 100 mg litre^?1 of azadirachtin, population increase was c. 3.5 times lower than the control. In more detailed studies, MO significantly reduced the number of molts, longevity, and fecundity of A. pisum that had been reared on treated broad bean. Viciafaba L., plants. MO also reduced the longevity and fecundity of young adult A. pisum exposed to MO-treated broad bean. MO was slow-acting against A. pisum. Mortality caused by MO stabilised seven days after newborn A. pisum were exposed to treated broad bean and 10 days for adults. The seven day LC₅₀ for individuals exposed from birth was 27.50 mg azadirachtin liter^?1 while the 10 day LC₅₀ for adults was 53.32 mg liter^?1. Contrary to previous studies suggesting that neem insecticides are not contact toxicants, we found that MO applied topically to adult A. pisum caused effects similar to those found in individuals that fed upon treated plants. However, MO was slower-acting when applied topically. Mortality in adult A. pisum caused by topically applied MO stabilised 17 days after treatment with a resultant LD₅₀of 2.91 μg azadirachtin g^?1.     

Green peach aphid,Myzus persicae (Hemiptera: Aphididae), reproduction during exposure to sublethal concentrations of imidacloprid and azadirachtin

BACKGROUND: Resurgence of insect pests following insecticide applications is often attributed to natural enemy disturbance, but hormesis could be an alternative or additional mechanism. Green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer), is an important insect pest of many crops worldwide that may be exposed to sublethal insecticide concentrations over time. Here, the hypothesis that exposure to low concentrations of imidacloprid and azadirachtin can induce hormetic responses in M. persicae is tested in the laboratory. RESULTS: When insects were exposed to potato leaf discs dipped in sublethal concentrations of insecticide, almost all measured endpoints—adult longevity, F1 production, F1 survival and F2 production—were affected, and a statistically significant (P < 0.05) stimulatory response was recorded for F2 production following exposure to imidacloprid. No other measures for hormesis were statistically significant, but other trends of hormetic response were consistently observed. CONCLUSIONS: Given that variable distribution and degradation of insecticides in the field would result in a wide range of concentrations over time and space, these laboratory experiments suggest that exposure to sublethal concentrations of imidacloprid and azadirachtin could stimulate reproduction in M. persicae.

几种生物农药对平腹小蜂的毒性

荔枝蝽（Ｔｅｓｓａｒａｔｏｍａ　ｐａｐｉｌｌｏｓａ）是荔枝和龙眼最重要的害虫之一，平腹小蜂（Ａｎａｓｔａｔｕｓ　ｊａｐｏｎｉｃｕｓ） 能大量寄生荔枝蝽卵，对荔枝蝽起着很好的控制作用。但由于荔枝和龙眼需经常使用农药防治病虫害以保证荔枝和龙眼的高产高质，为使化防和生防统一协调，本文就几种果园常用的生物农药对平腹小蜂的毒性进行了研究。１ 材料与方法１．１平腹小蜂：用柞蚕卵繁殖，由广东省昆虫研究所提供。１．２试验农药：１０种生物性农药，其中尽种是Ｂ．ｔ类杀虫剂，１种是病毒，５种是植物性杀虫剂。它们依次是高…     

Effects of neem (Azadirachta indica) extracts onLeptocorisa chinensis under choice and no-choice conditions

Two extracts from neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss. (Meliaceae)) seeds, azadirachtin and oil, and a mixture of neem oil and abamectin, were tested on second-instar nymphs of the rice bugLeptocorisa chinensis (Dallas) (Hemiptera: Alydidae). To clarify the effect of spraying coverage on bioefficacy of test materials, experiments were conducted under choice and no-choice conditions in field cages. In a choice test, treatment with the mixture of neem oil and abamectin was most effective in reducing the survival ofL. chinensis, followed by azadirachtin at 60 ppm, 30 ppm and 3% neem oil, whereas all treatments except neem oil caused 100% mortality within 3 weeks in a no-choice test. When second-instar nymphs had choices of treated and untreated plants within a treatment, no differences in yield and sum of dead and stained grains were found between those two choices, indicating that nymphs neither caused significant reduction in yield nor reduced the quality of untreated plants. Regardless of treatment, the difference in overall yield between treated and untreated plants under choice conditions was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Our results indicate that neem-based formulations, used alone or in combination with abamectin, have the potential to be integrated into the existing programs to control the rice bug. http://www.phytoparasitica.org posting Aug. 28, 2005.     

Comparison of anti-feedant and insecticidal activity of nimbin and salannin photo-oxidation products with neem (Azadirachta indica) limonoids

Photo-oxidation of the neem limonoids nimbin and salannin with UV light in the presence of oxygen gives two isomeric lactone products per limonoid, nimbinolide and isonimbinolide, and salanninolide and isosalanninolide, respectively. When compared in insect tests with the important limonoids of neem seeds, azadirachtin, nimbin and salannin, isonimbinolide and isosalanninolide show activity greater than that of nimbin or salannin and in some respects show activity approaching that of azadirachtin. The photo-oxidation products were tested for anti-feedant activity and toxicity against larvae of three species of Lepidoptera, Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd), Spodoptera frugiperda (FE Smith) and Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) and nymphs of the locusts Schistocerca gregaria (Forsk?l) and Locusta migratoria (L).     

Acute and chronic effects of neem on Myzocallis coryli (Homoptera: Aphididae)

Abstract

Adults and immatures of the filbert aphid, Myzocallis coryli (Goetze), a major pest of hazelnuts worldwide, were exposed to foliage treated with different concentrations of a botanical insecticide, Margosan-O, derived from extract of neem seeds. Both mature and immature stages were highly sensitive to this compound. Acute toxicity causing immediate mortality of young nymphs, particularly at higher rates (50 ppm or more), and chronic effects resulting in reduced offspring production, lengthening of nymphal development time and reduced survival of subsequent generation were recorded. The offspring production of adult aphids fed on treated leaves was reduced in a dosage-dependent manner, nearly 50% at 2.5 ppm to over 80% at 62.5 ppm. However, no nymphal survival was recorded at 25 ppm or higher doses. A repellency effect was also recorded, butthe feeding deterrence response was weak at best. Field trials also showed a marked reduction of aphid numbers on treated foliage, suggesting the effectiveness of neem against this major pest of hazelnuts.     

Wheat cultivars and natural-based substances: Impacts on epidemiological parameters of yellow dwarf disease

For many years, control methods against aphid-transmitted barley/cereal yellow dwarf viruses (B/CYDV) in cereal fields were mainly based on the use of neonicotinoid (NNI)-coated seeds. The ban of NNI by the EU in 2018 has reinforced the interest of the scientific community in the characterization of genetic resources and biological protections to find alternatives to chemicals for the management of B/CYDV. Eleven BYDV-susceptible wheat varieties were tested using a set of experimental procedures to evaluate their potential to alter parameters linked to the biology of aphids (Rhopalosiphum padi) and spread of virus (BYDV-PAV). Moreover, two natural-based substances (azadirachtin and mineral oil) were tested for their impact on the ability of aphids to survive, colonize and transmit the virus. Results showed that the 11 genotypes tested have a level of susceptibility to virus infection similar to the susceptible reference cv. Rubisko. However, when characterization focused on virus load, latency period and aphid fecundity, partial resistance phenotypes were observed for some cultivars. Furthermore, azadirachtin increased aphid mortality and decreased aphid fecundity. Thus, in addition to genes described for their ability to limit B/CYDV infections, the genetic backgrounds of B/CYDV-susceptible wheat cultivars and azadirachtin-based treatment should be considered for future management strategies against yellow dwarf disease.
