Field Efficacy Evaluation of Spinetoram 25% WG Control Spodoptera frugiperda in Maize
In order to further explore the safety of spinetoram in maize,the control effect,duration,usage and dosage on Spodoptera frugiper-da,screened out effective,low toxicity and environmentally friendly agents for controlling Spodoptera frugiperda. Spinetoram 25% WG was used to carry out the field plot efficacy test. The results showed that spinetoram 25% WG was safe for maize and had a good control effect on Spodoptera frugiperda. With the increase of the dosage,the control effect and duration increased. The more obvious one was that spinetoram 25% WG was 180-240 g/hm2,and the control effect on Spodoptera frugiperda was 100.00% after 1-3 days of treatment,the control effect was above 75.00% after 7-14 days,and the seedling protection effect was still above 65.00% after 14 days. The damage grade of maize was controlled below grade 2,the damage degree of maize was mild,and the duration of efficacy was 14 days. In addition,spinosyn 20% SC also showed good control effect in the test,the control effect was above 90. 00% after 1-3 days of treatment,and the control effect was above 75.00% after 7-14 days of treatment. It is recommended to use spinetoram 25% WG 180 g/hm2 or spinosyn 20% SC 225 mL/hm2 to control Spodoptera frugiperda of maize.
