Evaluation of the insecticidal toxicity of various pesticides for Atractomorpha lata (Orthoptera: Pyrgomorphidae) control

“…Chemical control, that is, the use of pesticides, is one of the fastest methods for pest control management (Abdelatef 2021; Abdel‐Fatah & Abdelatef 2013; Rachadi 2010). Chemical pesticide application is an important strategy used to control locusts, grasshoppers, and various other pests, such as Locusta migratoria capito , Atractomorpha crenulata , Scapteriscus vicinus , Riptotus pedetris , and Spodoptera frugiperda , in a short time (Abdelatef 2021; Idrees et al 2022; Kostromytska et al 2011; Lee et al 2013; Peveling et al 1999; Rani & Sanjayan 2014).…”

“…Grasshoppers and locusts exhibit faster population growth than other insects, causing significant plant damage in a short time (Zhang et al 2019). Some types of grasshopper are becoming a problem, including outbreak species, such as Locusta migratoria , Schistocerca gregaria , Oedaleus senegalensis , and Aiolopus simulatrix , all of which either are not present in the Korean Peninsula or have caused an unknown amount of damage in the region; unfortunately, pest management studies have been insufficient (Abdelatef 2021; Inglis et al 1999; Peveling et al 1999).…”

“…Many chemical pesticides, such as organophosphorus, phenylpyrazole, pyrethroid, and benzoylurea compounds, and insect growth regulators (IGRs), are widely used to control of grasshopper (Abdelatef 2021; MacCuaig 1980; Peveling et al 1999). Pesticides with high residual activity are effective in controlling polyphagous and mobile insects, and the persistence of the pesticide depends on the initial dose applied (Balança & De Visscher 1997; Story et al 2013).…”

“…Pesticides with high residual activity are effective in controlling polyphagous and mobile insects, and the persistence of the pesticide depends on the initial dose applied (Balança & De Visscher 1997; Story et al 2013). However, since pesticides can also affect nontarget organisms and the environment, a very low treatment dose is recommended (Abdelatef 2021; Balança & De Visscher 1997; Rachadi 2010; Story et al 2013). The spray method for applying chemical pesticides is highly recommended for controlling locusts and grasshoppers because it shows rapid action and is efficient (Mattews 2005; Balança & De Visscher 1997: Dakhel et al 2020).…”
