Lambda-cyhalothrin efficiency on fruit borer control and quali-quantitative spraying aspects in a pinecone crop

Abstract: In Brazil, the state of Bahia is one of the largest pinecone (Annona squamosa L.) growers; nevertheless, fruit borer (Cerconota anonella L.) presence limits production. This research aimed to test the efficiency of lambda-cyhalothrin in controlling fruit borer using different spray volumes; additionally, this research tested qualitative and quantitative operational aspects. Trials were carried out in pinecone orchards in Caraíbas-BA, Brazil. Pesticide efficiency was tested by a randomized block experiment with… Show more

“…However, only treatments 43 L ha -1 (without and with adjuvant) and 146 L ha -1 (with adjuvant) resulted in efficiencies above 80%, specifically 82.63%, 93.06% and 93.69%, respectively (Table 4). An insecticide is considered efficient when it reaches, at least, 80% efficiency in the control of a pest (MORAIS et al, 2016). At 30 DAA, only the 309 L ha -1 treatment with the addition of adjuvant behaved similarly to the control, while the others resulted in significantly lower infestations.…”

“…Effective, economical and sustainable application of insecticides is necessary for any crop. The use of application technology with reduced application rates aims to improve sustainable pest control, as well as its effectiveness, which is effectively related to the type of nozzle and operating characteristics used during spraying, allowing good coverage uniformity and minimal loss by drift (Silva;Nomelini, 2014;Morais et al, 2016).…”
