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

Conservation tillage and thiamethoxam seed treatments as tools to reduce thrips densities and disease in cotton and peanut

“…Thiamethoxam has a high solubility in water (4.1 g/L) and the increased rainfall likely diluted the insecticide and washed it out of the root zone. Ghidiu et al (2013) also observed decreased efficacy of at-planting applications of neonicotinoids under increased rainfall conditions. In contrast, Greenberg et al (2009) demonstrated that thiamethoxam seed treatments effectively reduced thrips damage to cotton 30 days after planting.…”
