Development of a Novel Insecticide, Dinotefuran

Assessment of the anti‐feeding and insecticidal effects of the combination of dinotefuran, permethrin and pyriproxyfen (Vectra®3D) againstTriatoma infestanson rats

“…To the present authors' knowledge, this is the first time that a dinotefuran‐based combination has been tested against triatomine bugs. Dinotefuran is a furanicotinyl belonging to the third generation of neonicotinoids and is known as a fast‐acting insecticide (Wakita et al ., ). When it is combined with permethrin, the effect of dinotefuran against insects is enhanced at the ganglionic synaptic level, resulting in increases in depolarization and desensitization (Varloud et al ., ).…”

Interactions of Light Intensity, Insecticide Concentration, and Time on the Efficacy of Systemic Insecticides in Suppressing Populations of the Sweetpotato Whitefly (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) and the Citrus Mealybug (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae)

“…Furthermore, the dinotefuran treatments (comparable and label rates) in experiment 1 resulted in the development of very few adults based on the number of empty pupal cases (Յ0.62) thus reducing the population of whiteßy nymphs in the next generation. Because dinotefuran (39 g/L) is more soluble in water than imidacloprid (0.51 g/L) (Wakita et al 2005) it may be more readily available in the growing medium for root uptake and translocation throughout plant parts . Moreover, the delay or lag period from application to the advent of full systemic translocation within plants may also affect the ability of the systemic insecticide to prevent the development of future generations .…”

Effect of Simulated Rainfall on the Control of Colorado Potato Beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) and Potato Leafhopper (Homoptera: Cicadellidae) with At-Plant Applications of Imidacloprid, Thiamethoxam or Dinotefuran on Potatoes in Laboratory and Field T

“…Treatments consisted of three neonicotinoid insecticides, at full labeled rates, and an untreated: imidacloprid (Admire PRO, 635.9 ml/ha [8.7 , and an untreated water spray. The solubility of the three neonicotinoids, from least to most soluble, are imidacloprid (solubility of 0.51 g/liter at 20 0 C, [20], thiamethoxam (solubility of 4.1 g/liter at 20 0 C, [12], and dinotefuran (solubility of 40.0 g/liter at 20 0 C, [21]. To simulate a field application, treatments of insecticides were applied over the top of the pot as a 10.2 cm (4") band open-furrow application on 23 Apr using a 3785 ml (1 gal) Agway (Southern States Cooperative, Richmond, VA) water sprinkler calibrated to deliver 189.3 liter/0.405 ha (50 gpa).…”

“…Just after leaves were placed in the Petri dishes, CPB larvae were collected from untreated nursery potato plots ("Superior" cv) in the field and five sameinstar larvae were placed in each Petri dish with the leaves and placed in the laboratory (2 nd and 3 rd instar larvae were tested May through early Jun, 3 rd and 4 th instar larvae were tested mid-to late Jun, and adults were tested early Jul because no larvae were available). After 72 hr, the total percentage leaf-feeding, based on visual assessment of percentage leaf tissue consumed by the CPB, and the number of live CPB in each Petri dish was recorded (3,8,21,28 Jun and 5 Jul).…”
