“…A comparison of the EIQ field rating values with those calculated in other apple production districts would be difficult and misleading because of differences in climatic conditions, insect and disease pest species (representing different levels of potential damage), and availability of registered pesticides. Nevertheless, it was noted that in a recent 4-year survey carried out in Eastern US apple orchards, the average EIQ field rating due to insecticide and acaricide treatments (mineral oil excluded) varied from 25.7 to 38.9 in those using reduced risk strategies, and between 197 and 237 in conventionally managed blocks (Agnello et al 2009). In the present study, the comparable EIQ value for insecticide and acaricide treatments was 53.7, which is very close to that calculated for the reduced risk strategies in the United States.…”

“…The newEIQ decreases the relative weight of mineral oil in the EIQ field rating from 50-56% to 37%; this permits a response to a second criticism of the original EIQ (Agnello et al 2009). Such an effect is also anticipated for other pesticides that are not classified as hazardous materials, and mitigates the high environmental impact attributed to organic production methods by the EIQ (Chouinard et al 2007;Sauphanor et al 2010).…”

“…Although mineral oil is recognized as a relatively safe, nonhazardous IPM practice (Viggiani and Bernardo 2001), its high field dosage (30 L/ha) results in an EIQ field rating that far exceeds that of any other insecticide (Agnello et al 2009). …”

“…For this purpose, we chose the ''Environmental Impact Quotient'' (EIQ), a PRI that was first designed by integrated pest management (IPM) specialists to aid fruit and vegetable growers of New York State in selecting low-impact pest control options (Kovach et al 1992), but it has been also used to compare different programs and strategies (Reganold et al 2001;Agnello et al 2009) and to monitor the success of a specific pesticide policy (Gallivan et al 2001;Cross and Edwards-Jones 2006).…”

Various pesticide risk indicators have been developed for estimating pesticide impact on human health and the environment. The present work applied a pesticide risk indicator to estimate change in pesticide risk in apple production between 2001 and 2009. The "Environmental Impact Quotient" was used, which evaluates potential impacts of pesticide active ingredients on farm workers, consumers, and nontarget organisms. A modified Environmental Impact Quotient was also tested, which accounts for all ingredients in the formulation presenting a health or environmental hazard, as identified in the Security Data Sheet. Irrespective of the rating system applied, an overall average improvement in environmental impact of apple protection strategies was indicated ranging from 23 to 24%. Hazard reduction was more significant when estimated per treatment, and was higher for acaricides and insecticides than for fungicides. Improvement appeared to be a consequence of using more selective and more effective active ingredients, applying alternative pest control techniques, compulsory periodic sprayer calibration, and wider use of dwarfing orchards. The modified Environmental Impact Quotient does not overcome all limitations regarding accuracy of pesticide risk indicators, but its ease of use in relying on official, easily accessible data, and the consistency of its results, makes it a good candidate for monitoring the success of reduced risk policies.

“…Diferentes grupos químicos de inseticidas foram recentemente disponibilizados para o manejo de lagartas nas culturas da macieira e do pessegueiro com destaque para o neonicotinoide (acetamiprido), espinosina (espinetoram), antranilamida (clorantraniliprole), benzoilureia (novalurom), éter piridiloxipropílico (piriproxifem) e éter difenílico (etofenproxi) (AGNELLO et al, 2009;OMOTO et al, 2012;AGROFIT, 2013).…”

A mariposa-oriental Grapholita molesta é uma das principais pragas da macieira e do pessegueiro. Neste trabalho, foi avaliada a mortalidade causada por inseticidas quando aplicados sobre diferentes fases de desenvolvimento de G. molesta e sobre ponteiros e frutos de macieira e pessegueiro. Os inseticidas acetamiprido (8 g 100L-1), fosmete (100 g 100L-1), espinetoram (3,75 g 100L-1) e novalurom (4,0 g i.a 100L-1) reduziram a eclosão em níveis superiores a 80%, independentemente de a aplicação ser realizada em pré ou pós-oviposição. O etofenproxi (15 g 100L-1) foi mais eficaz quando aplicado em pós-oviposição. Em ponteiros de macieira e pessegueiro, os inseticidas acetamiprido, clorantraniliprole (4,9 g 100L-1), etofenproxi, fosmete, novalurom e espinetoram causaram mortalidade de lagartas acima de 90%. Em frutos de macieira, os inseticidas acetamiprido, clorantraniliprole, etofenproxi, fosmete e espinetoram causaram mortalidade de lagartas de 100; 79; 76; 97 e 100%, respectivamente, enquanto em frutos de pessegueiro apresentaram controle superior a 85%. O inseticida novalurom aplicado em frutos causou menor mortalidade das lagartas quando comparado à aplicação em ponteiros. Em adultos, apenas os inseticidas etofenproxi e fosmete foram tóxicos tanto a fêmeas (59 e 39%) quanto a machos (79 e 80%), enquanto o espinetoram mostrou efeito apenas em machos (78%). Conclui-se que os inseticidas etofenproxi, fosmete e espinetoram foram eficientes no controle de G. molesta em todas as fases de desenvolvimento.
