Long term efficacy of three chitin synthesis inhibitors and oxymatrine as cowpea seed protectants against Callosobruchus maculatus and Callosobruchus chinensis
Abstract:The residual efficacy of three chitin synthesis inhibitors (CSIs) (chlorfluazuron, hexaflumuron and lufenuron) and oxymatrine at an application rate of 5.0 mg/kg was evaluated against Callosobruchus maculatus and Callosobruchus chinensis monthly for 5 consecutive months (6 bioassays). In each bioassay, the mortality of two insect adults was counted after 7 days, progeny reduction and cowpea weight loss percentages were recorded after 45 days. Our results revealed that CSIs caused high level of adult mortality … Show more
