Evaluation of Foliar and Soil-Applied Insecticides for the Control of Foliar Insects in Fall Tomatoes in Virginia, 2010

Insecticide effect of cyantraniliprole on tomato moth Tuta absoluta Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) larvae in field trials

“…The foliar application trials in both seasons showed that doses between 400-1000 mL ha -1 of cyantraniliprole10 OD were highly effective in controlling tomato moth and decreasing damage in both foliage and fruit. Similar results were found by Carson et al (2011), Jacobson andKennedy (2012), Kuhar et al (2012), andMandal (2012) with foliar applications of this insecticide; they found significantly less damage of larvae of corn earworm Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) and other tomato pests. Stansly and Kostyk (2012) found a significant decrease in the number of larvae and damage of the diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) in a cauliflower crop using foliar applications of cyantraniliprole 10 OD.…”

Organic Tomato Production in Alabama: Host Preference of the Tomato Hornworm (<i>Manduca quinquemaculata</i>) and Performance of Selected Biopesticides

“…Efficacy studies involving dust formulations of pesticides such as Krytox, Cryolite, Calcium arsenate, Phthalonitrile, and Paris green against the tomato hornworm have however, produced a range of varying results [3]. Available literature on the performance of synthetic foliar and systemic insecticides also reveals varying performances against the hornworm on different cultivars of tomatoes [4][5][6][7][8]. Indiscriminate use of agrochemicals has contributed significantly to several environmental issues.…”

Electrical penetration graph studies to investigate the effects of cyantraniliprole on feeding behavior of Myzus persicae (Hemiptera: Aphididae) on Capsicum annuum

“…7 Several field studies have shown that cyantraniliprole applied as a soil drench application, through drip irrigation, or as a soil injection significantly suppresses Myzus persicae populations on pepper and cabbage 8 -10 and Macrosiphum euphorbiae (Thomas) populations on tomato. 11 Currently, the effects of cyantraniliprole on aphid feeding behavior are not known. However, any such effects, if significant, could impact aphid establishment and subsequent population growth on treated plants, and potentially affect the transmission of plant viruses by affected aphid vectors.…”
