Abstract | ||
The effectiveness of 16 compounds representing organophosphates, pyrethroids and insect growth regulators (IGRs) against the eggs and adults of Tropinota squalida (Scop) were studied as a soil treatment at various concentrations. The results showed that the activity of both pyrethroid Biphenthrin and IGR Diflubenzuron against T. squalida adults were superior in comparison with the other compounds tested. The ovicidal effect of organophosphate Isoxathion was shown clearly especially at the higher concentration of 1000 p.p.m. Also, Diflubenzuron had good effect especially at the two higher concentrations of 10 and 50 P.P.m. | ||
