Investigation on the efficacy of mixed insecticides against the Cnaphalocrocis medinalis
To investigate the control efficacy and duration of mixed insecticides such as spinosad+indoxacarb indoxacarb, spinosad, and tetraniliprole mixed with abamectin against the Cnaphalocrocis medinalis, as well as the safety of these mixtures on rice, a field efficacy trial was conducted. The results showed that the application of 15% indoxacarb SC and other insecticides mixed with 10% abamectin SC significantly controlled the Cnaphalocrocis medinalis. During the stable period of damage, the mixtures of 15% indoxacarb SC at 300 mL/hm2 with 10% abamectin SC at 750 mL/hm2 and 200 g/L tetraniliprole SC at 150 mL/hm2 with 10% abamectin SC at 750 mL/hm2, applied twice, provided control efficacy against the Cnaphalocrocis medinalis of over 95%. It was recommended to spray the mixture of 15% indoxacarb SC at 300 mL/hm2 with 10% abamectin SC at 750 mL/hm2, or 200 g/L tetraniliprole SC at 150 mL/hm2 with 10% abamectin SC at 750 mL/hm2, on the stems and leaves during the peak hatching period of the eggs to control the Cnaphalocrocis medinalis.
