This study aims to characterize and improve the insecticidal activity of nanostructured alumina dusts. To accomplish these goals, multiple solution based synthesis routes utilizing standard aluminum salt precursors were utilized to synthesize three unique types of alumina dust. These were compared with regards to morphology, particle size and surface area using electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering particle size analysis. Insect toxicity of the various dusts was assessed using two insect species that are pests of stored grain, Sitophilus oryzae and Rhyzopertha dominica. The dust synthesized using a modified glycine-nitrate combustion process consistently yielded greater mortality rates, and all dust types were more effective on S. oryzae than on R. dominica, although the difference varied across dust types. The data show that insecticidal activity is dependent on particle size, particle morphology and surface area but also indicated that minimizing particle size and maximizing surface area are not the sole dominant factors influencing efficacy. This study does however suggest that pesticide dusts can be engineered through modified synthesis to better target different insect species. 相似文献

American cockroaches, Periplaneta americana (L.), and German cockroaches, Blattella germanica (L.), ingested large quantities of powder (silica aerogel and boric acid) in the process of preening their appendages. Their crops were greatly distended by the powder, but the denticles of the armarium of the proventriculus permitted the movement of only very small quantities of silica aerogel into the remainder of the alimentary tract. Boric acid likewise passed the armarium in very small quantities and apparently only in solution.There was no significant difference in the rate of mortality of both species of cockroaches confined with deposits of silica aerogel SG-68, whether their mouthparts were sealed with paraffin wax or left unsealed. Ingested powder did not increase the rate of water loss. Cockroaches with unsealed mouthparts died more rapidly on deposits of boric acid than those with sealed mouthparts, as might be expected of a toxic compound. However, cockroaches with sealed mouthparts were strikingly affected by boric acid, indicating cuticular penetration by that compound. Penetration within the integument, in the gross body contents, in the alimentary tract, and in the feces was confirmed by a boric acid flame test. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The worldwide need to produce an inexpensive and abundant food supply for a growing population is a great challenge that is further complicated by concerns about risks to environmental stability and human health triggered by the use of pesticides. The result is the ongoing development of alternative pest control strategies, and new, lower‐risk insecticidal molecules. Among the recent technological advances in agricultural science, nanotechnology shows considerable promise, although its development for use in crop protection is in its initial stages. RESULTS: This study reports for the first time the insecticidal effect of nanostructured alumina. Two species were used as model organisms, Sitophilus oryzae L. and Rhyzopertha dominica (F.), which are major insect pests in stored food supplies throughout the world. Both species experienced significant mortality after 3 days of continuous exposure to treated wheat. Nine days after treatment, the median lethal doses (LD50) observed ranged from 127 to 235 mg kg?1. CONCLUSION: Comparison of these results with recommended rates for commercial insecticidal dusts suggests that inorganic nanostructured alumina may provide a cheap and reliable alternative for control of insect pests. This study expands the frontiers for nanoparticle‐based technologies in pest management. Further research is needed to identify its mode of action and its non‐target toxicity, and to determine the potential of other nanostructured materials as pest control options for insects.

The effects of continuous exposure of the adult and crawler stages of the whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum, and adult of the parasitoids Encarsia formosa and Eretmocerus eremicus to spray deposits of potassium salts of a fatty acid and diafenthiuron applied at recommended rates were evaluated. French bean, Phaseolus vulgaris Prince, plants were sprayed and the adults confined on them using modified 5 cm Petri dishes. Fresh (4 - 5-h-old) deposits of fatty acids resulted in a 10.7% mortality rate of whitefly adults and 8.0 and 10.7% mortality rates of E. formosa and E. eremicus adults respectively, while fresh deposits of diafenthiuron resulted in a 62.7% mortality rate of whitefly adults and 12.0 and 14.7% mortality rates of E. formosa and E. eremicus respectively. The mortality rate (6.9 and 69.7%) of whitefly crawlers was recorded when exposed to 24-h-old deposits of fatty acids and diafenthiuron respectively. The mortality rate declined as the deposits aged. Adult parasitoid emergence from the treated pupae was unaffected. Spray deposits of diafenthiuron were effective against whitefly for up to 2-3 weeks in comparison with fatty acids, which were effective only when sprayed. Both products were harmless to adults as well as pupae of both parasitoids irrespective of the exposure period (age of deposits) tested (IOBC Class 1). These insecticides can be included in integrated pest management strategies against whitefly with the fatty acids used on horticultural crops. 相似文献

Four synergists are used to evaluate the relative contribution of esterases and oxidases in the metabolism of four pyrethroids, the (+)-trans- and (+)-cis-isomers of resmethrin and tetramethrin, by five insect species and by mice. Three of these compounds are known pyrethroid synergists, S,S,S-tributyl phosphorotrithioate acting as an esterase inhibitor and piperonyl butoxide and O-(2-methylpropyl) O-(2-propynyl) phenylphosphonate acting as oxidase inhibitors. The fourth synergist, 1-naphthyl N-propylcarbamate, is an esterase inhibitor selected by screening 65 candidate esterase and oxidase inhibitors for maximal potency in synergizing the toxicity of trans-resmethrin to milkweed bugs. Naphthyl propylcarbamate synergizes the toxicity of trans-resmethrin and -tetramethrin to milkweed bugs, cockroaches, houseflies, cabbage loopers, and mealworms but not to mice. The persistence of trans-resmethrin in milkweed bugs treated by injection is increased by the esterase inhibitors while that of cis-resmethrin is increased by the oxidase inhibitors. The optimal synergist varies with the species and the pyrethoid, being related to both the nature of the pyrethroid alcohol moiety and the trans- or cis-configuration of the acid moiety. This probably results from species variations in the relative significance of esterases and oxidases in pyrethroid detoxification. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Adipokinetic hormones (AKHs) are insect neuropetides controlling stress situations including those elicited by insecticide treatment. The effect of Pyrap‐AKH on the mortality of the firebug Pyrrhocoris apterus (L.) treated with the insecticide permethrin (Ambush 25 EC) was studied. RESULTS: Coinjection of 50 ng permethrin with 80 pmol Pyrap‐AKH induced a significant 2.3‐fold increase in bug mortality compared with the insecticide alone. The results were confirmed by topical coapplication of both agents (400 ng and 80 pmol respectively). Injections of 50 and 100 ng permethrin elicited a significant increase in the AKH level in CNS and the haemolymph. The results indicate an involvement of AKH in stress response to permethrin. The enhanced effect of insecticide by AKH treatments probably results from the stimulatory role in bug metabolism: carbon dioxide production was increased 3.5‐ and 2.5‐fold respectively 1 and 3 h after permethrin treatment, and 4.3‐ and 3.4‐fold after the permethrin plus AKH cotreatment, compared with the control. CONCLUSION: The elevation of metabolism could intensify the permethrin action by its faster penetration into tissues and by stimulation of biochemically active cells, and could be a reason for enhanced action of permethrin after its cotreatment with Pyrap‐AKH.

BACKGROUND: The commercialization of new insecticides is important for ensuring that multiple effective product choices are available. In particular, new insecticides that exhibit high potency and lack insecticidal cross‐resistance are particularly useful in insecticide resistance management (IRM) programs. Sulfoxaflor possesses these characteristics and is the first compound under development from the novel sulfoxamine class of insecticides. RESULTS: In the laboratory, sulfoxaflor demonstrated high levels of insecticidal potency against a broad range of sap‐feeding insect species. The potency of sulfoxaflor was comparable with that of commercial products, including neonicotinoids, for the control of a wide range of aphids, whiteflies (Homoptera) and true bugs (Heteroptera). Sulfoxaflor performed equally well in the laboratory against both insecticide‐susceptible and insecticide‐resistant populations of sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci Gennadius, and brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Stål), including populations resistant to the neonicotinoid insecticide imidacloprid. These laboratory efficacy trends were confirmed in field trials from multiple geographies and crops, and in populations of insects with histories of repeated exposure to insecticides. In particular, a sulfoxaflor use rate of 25 g ha?1 against cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii Glover) outperformed acetamiprid (25 g ha?1) and dicrotophos (560 g ha?1). Sulfoxaflor (50 g ha?1) provided a control of sweetpotato whitefly equivalent to that of acetamiprid (75 g ha?1) and imidacloprid (50 g ha?1) and better than that of thiamethoxam (50 g ha?1). CONCLUSION: The novel chemistry of sulfoxaflor, its unique biological spectrum of activity and its lack of cross‐resistance highlight the potential of sulfoxaflor as an important new tool for the control of sap‐feeding insect pests.

Laboratory experiments and field trials demonstrated that canola oil, which is rich in fatty acids that are kairomonal cues in cannibalism, is an effective attractant of rangeland grasshoppers and a suitable oil-based carrier for insecticides. Laboratory-based olfactory tests revealed a significant, positive chemotaxis of Melanoplus sanguinipes in response to canola oil and olive oil mixtures. Small-scale field tests made by airbrush applications of 5 ml of canola oil (equivalent to 500 l/ha) to centres of aluminium rings (0.1 m2 相似文献
