Field Efficacy Trials of Spirotetramat 24% SC on Diaphorina citri Kuwayama and Dialeurodes citri Ashmead and Other Citrus Pests
[Aims]The field efficacy trials on spirotetramat 24% SC had been conducted to validate the control effect against Dialeurodes citri Ashmead, Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama and Panonychus citri McGregor in May to August in 2010.[Results]The results of field trials showed that the efficacies of l, 3 days after treatment of spirotetramat 24% SC were over 90.1% at 1000 mg/L.The efficacy was lower than 30.2% on the 4th day after treatment against Phylloenistis citrella at 1000 mg/L.Spirotetramat 24% SC provided unstable efficacy against Diaphorina citri Kuwayama.In the first and second tests, it provided good rapid and high efficacy(the control efficacies were over 95% on the 24th day after treatment) against Diaphorina citri Kuwayama at 500 mg/L in May and June.In the third test, the efficacies were lower than 82% during 1 to 15 days after treatment at 333, 500 and 1000 mg/L in August.The efficacies against Panonychus citri were 48.7 to 93.9% during 1 to 22 days after treatment at 500 mg/L.[Conclusions]Spirotetramat 24% SC provided good efficacy against Dialeurodes citri and Panonychus citri and unstable efficacy against Diaphorina citri Kuwayama and poor efficacy against Phyllocnistis citrella.
