“…Insecticides have been extensively used to control N. lugens (Endo and Tsurumachi, 2001;Yoo et al, 2002), resulting in the development of resistance in different countries and areas (Nagata, 1982;Gao et al, 1987;Hirai, 1993). For example, imidacloprid was used to control this pest for more than 10 years in China, usually in several forms, such as 70%, 25%, 10% (WP), 20 g/l, 100 g/l (SL) et al Farmers often applied imidacloprid to every generation of N. lugens to prevent its outbreak in many rice-growing areas in China.…”
