“…Application of pesticide is the most common way to control S. dorsalis. However, unwise utilization of pesticide will have an impact on pest resistance, resurgence and secondary pest outbreak as well as environmental negative impact (Azmi & Naqvi, 2011;de Bon et al, 2014;Hill, Macfadyen, & Nash, 2017).…”

Population dynamic information and its influence factors are basic need for the best insect strategic control. This research objective was to descript and compare thrips S. dorsalis population dynamic on mango and associated weeds under low and intensive cultural practices. Reseacrh was conducted in PT. Trigatra Rajasa mango plantation in Ketowan, Arjasa, Situbondo, East Java, Indonesia from February 2014 to January 2015. The investigation was done through observation of S. dorsalis number associate on each mango growth stages and weeds under the canopy of mango. Arithmetic and descriptive method were applied to ensure the population oscillations pattern among phenological stages of mango and weeds under mango tree canopy. Result showed that population fluctuation of S. dorsalis was determined by growth stages of mango trees and the availability of initial built up of population. Flush growth stage was the most preferred stage which had high input agricultural practices such as fertilizer and tree conditioning and was supported for more numbers of thrips. Weeds Desmanthus leptophyllus, Achalypha indica, Azadirachta indica and Tephrosia vogelii were functioning as breeding habitat for early built-up population on mango trees. Climate factors especially rainfall was also affected population fluctuation of S. dorsalis on mango trees and weeds.

Exposure to commonly used pesticides poses significant health risks to humans and wildlife. Hence, accurate and sensitive pesticide residue testing methods are imperative to minimize potential health hazards. In this study, we report a method to detect several pesticide residues at trace levels utilizing colloidal gold nanoparticles and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Gold nanoparticles suspended in water have been found to enhance Raman scattering from 21 pesticides, including fungicides and insecticides, such as neonicotinoids and organothiophosphates. Measured limits of detection ranged from 0.001 to 10 parts per million (ppm). Furthermore, simultaneous detection of two pesticides, phosmet and thiram, in both a mixture solution and on apple skin, was performed using the SERS method and principal component analysis. The results presented here indicate that SERS coupled with colloidal gold nanoparticles is a potential useful tool for identifying pesticides at trace levels for food safety applications.
