Abstract:From the results achieved by the evaluation of toxicities to an aphid predator, Aphidoletes aphidimyza Rondani eggs with 47 pesticides used for cucumber farming, 22 pesticides including emamectin benzoate showed low toxicity. 12 pesticides with flonicamid among 22 pesticides tested on eggs showed low toxicity (mortality, 0~2.7%) to A. aphidimyza lavae and indoxacarb + teflubenzuron and chlorantraniliprole showed toxicity of 35.4% and 64.6%, respectively. 14 pesticides including indoxacarb + teflubenzuron and chlorantraniliprole demontrating low toxicity against A. aphidimyza lavae showed low toxicity to A. aphidimyza pupae and adults as well.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
