Sublethal Effects of Virtako^™on Life Table Parameters and Wing Formation of the Brown Planthopper (Homoptera: Delphacidae)

Appraisal of the Impact of Three Insecticides on the Principal Rice Pests and Their Predators in China

“…It contains 20% chlorantraniliprole and 20% thiamethoxam, and it has low toxicity to mammals and high toxicity to pests in the orders Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, and Diptera. Our previous studies found that Virtako might be an effective alternative for the control of the brown planthopper by delaying the development of resistance to thiamethoxam (Chen et al 2013(Chen et al , 2014. However, only a limited amount of research exists on the field efficacy of Virtako in controlling rice insect pests or their natural enemies (Yang et al 2010;Geng et al 2011).…”
