English Abstract

A field trial was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of the insecticides sulfoxaflor (Closer 240SC) at different doses and spinetoram (Radiant 240SC) at a single dose against dubas bug, Ommatissus lybicus in the Baqubah region, Diyala province, Iraq.

The trial was conducted on the spring generation of dubas bug, in 2011, by ground spray application on infested date palm trees.

Closer 240SC insecticide was used in different concentrations as follows: 3.5, 7, 10 and 14 ml/30 Liter of water while Radiant 240SC insecticide was used in a single concentration of 15 ml/30 Liter of water.

The results of the trial revealed very good control of the numbers of nymph and adult population of dubas bug by using different concentrations of Sulfoxaflor.

At 35 days after the application, the dose of 3.5 ml/30L of Closer 240SC reached 89.3% corrected efficacy, while at 7, 10 and 14 ml/30L the corrected efficacy ranged between 93.3-94.6%.

At the same interval after application, Radiant 240Sc at 15 ml/30 reached 91.5% efficacy.
