Laboratory bioactivity test and field efficacy of diafenthiuron·tolfenpyrad 25%suspension concentrate against Empoasca pirisuga Matsumura
The study aims to evaluate the field efficacy of diafenthiuron·tolfenpyrad 25%suspension concentrate(SC)against Empoasca pirisuga Matumura.The combined toxicity of 98%diafenthiuron and 95%tolfenpyrad at different ra-tios to E.pirisuga Matsumura was determined by the method of co-toxicity coefficient,at the same time,field efficacy comparison tests between two places were carried out with diafenthiuron·tolfenpyrad 25%SC 112.5,150.0 and 187.5 g·hm-2,diafenthiuron 25%SC 750.0 g·hm 2 and tolfenpyrad 30%SC 90.0 g·hm-2.Highest co-toxicity coefficient was 144.21 in the mixture of diafenthiuron and tolfenpyrad at the ratio of 2:3.The diafenthiuron·tolfenpyrad 25%SC can control E.pirisuga Matumura rapidly and had great duration,the field efficacy results in Chang'an village and Lingx-ia village showed that the field efficacy of diafenthiuron·tolfenpyrad 25%SC was 67.55%-76.87%and 86.24%-93.33%after applying 1 d,and the field efficacy was 89.50%-95.29%and 85.53%-92.74%after applying 7 d.The results show that diafenthiuron·tolfenpyrad 25%SC has good field efficacy on E.pirisuga Matumura.In tea produc-tion,spraying diafenthiuron·tolfenpyrad 25%SC with the dose of 112.5-187.5 g·hm-2 was recommended to control E.pirisuga Matumura.
