“…Because of its unique mode of action, involving the postsynaptic nicotinic acetylcholine and Gamma-aminobutyric (GABA) receptors, spinosad has strong insecticidal activity against insects (Salgado, 1998) especially Lepidoptera (e.g. Helicoverpa armigera (Wang et al, 2009), Spodoptera frugiperda (Méndez et al, 2002), Diptera (King and Hennesey 1996;Collier and Vanstynwyk , 2003 ;Bond et al, 2004), some Coleoptera (Elliott et al, 2007) as well as stored grains (Hertlein et al, 2011). To date, spinosad is considered a good alternative control of Lepidopteran pests due to its high activity at low rates and its use in integrated pest management programs.…”

“…Most importantly, spinosad demonstrates lower mammalian and environmental toxicity with reduced risk to humans and wildlife than traditional insecticides (DowElanco 1994). In feeding trials, ingestion of spinosad resulted in high mortality for Mexican fruit ßy, Anastrepha ludens (Loew) (Prokopy et al 2000); Caribbean fruit ßy, Anastrepha suspensa (Loew) (King and Hennessey 1996); and Mediterranean fruit ßy, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Adan et al 1996). In Þeld trials, Peck and McQuate (2000) demonstrated that bait sprays with malathion, phloxine B, or spinosad suppressed C. capitata populations; however, malathion seemed to be more effective than spinosad.…”

Spinosad was evaluated in Hawaii as a replacement for organophosphate insecticides (naled, dichlorvos [DDVP], and malathion) in methyl eugenol and cue-lure bucket traps to attract and kill oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis Hendel, and melon fly, B. cucurbitae Coquillett, respectively. In the first and second methyl eugenol trials with B. dorsalis, naled was in the highest rated group for all evaluation periods (at 5, 10, 15, and 20 wk). Spinosad was equal to naled at 5 and 10 wk during both trials 1 and 2, and compared favorably with malathion during trial 2. During the first cue-lure trial with B. cucurbitae, naled and malathion were in the top rated group at 5, 10, 15, and 20 wk. Spinosad was equal to naled at 5 wk. During the second cue-lure trial, spinosad and naled were both in the top rated group at 10, 15, and 20 wk. Use of male lure traps with methyl eugenol or cue-lure had no effect on attraction of females into test areas. Our results suggest that spinosad, although not as persistent as naled or malathion, is safer to handle and a more environmentally friendly substitute for organophosphate insecticides in methyl eugenol and cue-lure traps for use in B. dorsalis and B. cucurbitae areawide integrated pest management programs in Hawaii.

“…Recently, the spinosad bait spray GF 120 (Dow AgroSciences 2001), containing spinosad as a toxicant has emerged as an effective and environmentally safe alternative to traditional bait sprays (containing organophosphate insecticides) for the control of several pest tephritid ßies (King and Hennessey 1996, Peck and McQuate 2000, Burns et al 2001, Vargas et al 2001. GF-120 Fruit Fly bait is a mixture of spinosad (insecticide) and a foodstuff attractant composed of various phagostimulants.…”

Effectiveness of GF-120 (Dow Chemical) Fruit Fly Bait containing the insecticide spinosad in controlling mango-infesting fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) was assessed by comparing treated orchards with untreated orchards. Twelve mango, Mangifera indica L., plantations located in six villages (two similar orchards per village: one orchard treated and orchard untreated) scattered in the Borgou department (northern Benin) were monitored weekly with fly traps, and the fruit was sampled twice for larval infestation at the beginning and in the middle of May in both 2006 and 2007. The two main mango fruit fly pests are Ceratitis cosyra (Walker) and Bactrocera invadens Drew, Tsuruta & White, an invasive species that recently spread throughout West Africa. In both the 2006 and 2007 seasons, C. cosyra had the earliest peak of abundance, and the difference between treated and untreated orchards, in terms of mean number of flies trapped per week and per trap, was significant only in 2007. B. invadens populations quickly increased with the onset of the rains, from mid-May onward, with no significant difference between treated and untreated orchards. In 2006 and 2007, the larval infestation by B. invadens was significantly lower in plots treated with GF-120 than in untreated control plots. GF-120 provided an 81% reduction in the number of pupae per kilogram of fruit after weekly applications for 7 wk in 2006 and an 89% reduction after 10 wk of weekly applications in 2007. The possibility of integrating GF120 bait sprays in an integrated pest management package is discussed in relation to market requirements.
