A treatment with the insect growth regulator (IGR) CGA 34 301 (ethyl 5-(4'-phenoxy)phenyl-pent-2-enoate) on larvae of Psylla piri (L.) induces the formation of extra larval instars and adultoids a t metamorphosis. Such abnormal insect forms to not develop into reproductive adults. Predator bugs, seem not to be affected by IGR treatments in the field. Therefore, we see a reasonable chance for IGRs to became new useful tools in integrated control programms against pear psyllids.2. ang. Ent. 78 (1975), 313-316
Two insect growth regulators (IGRS) were tested against the armoured scale Aspidiotus nerii and the soft scale Parthenolecanium corni in the greenhouse. The most sensitive stages appeared to be the second instar in the females and nymphal stages in males. CGA 34300 and CGA 34301 applied at a rate of 0.05 % a.i. with appropriate timing gave encouraging results and merit further evaluation as control agents under field conditions.
Zusammenfassung
Wirkungen von Insekten‐Wachstumsregulatoren auf die Oleander‐Schildlaus (Aspidiotus nerii) und die Europäische Napfschildlaus (Parthenolecanium corni)
Zwei Insektenwachstumsregulatoren wurden gegen die Deckelschildlaus Aspidiotus nerii und gegen die Napfschildlaus Parthenolecanium corni im Gewächshaus geprüft. Die weib‐lichen Schildläuse sind im 2. Larvalstadium sensibel, die Männchen in den Nymphenstadien. Unter der Voraussetzung, daß die Behandlung im richtigen Zeitpunkt erfolgt, werden mit CGA 34300 und CGA 34301 mit 0,05 % Wirkstoff gute Ergebnisse erzielt. Die Versuche werden im Freiland weitergeführt.
