The effect of Palizin, Tondexir and pymetrozine on the green cotton Aphid Aphis gossypii

Abstract EN

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of plant-based pesticides on the green aphid A.

gossypii and investigating the effect of adding citral oil to the plant pesticides.

To carry out experiments on A.

gossypii in nymph and adult stages, young soybean leaves of DPX cultivar were used (Katoul).

For bioassay, first, the bulk solution was prepared and then, other concentrations (eight concentrations for each insecticide) were prepared and used.

The results of this study showed that the palizin insecticide with citral oil at LCso of 359.669 ml/1 had the greatest effect on nymphs in-vitro, but when the same nymph stage was evaluated under greenhouse conditions, the highest efficacy was obtained with the mixture of pymetrozine and citral oil with LC30 of 295.242 ml/L.

In the experiments performed on the adult stage under both greenhouse and laboratory conditions, the most desirable treatment was that of the mixture of herbal insecticide palizin and citral oil, and the LCso obtained was 807.88 and 1249.14 ml/L under laboratory and greenhouse conditions, respectively.
