Overview

Randomized trial evaluates bisulflufen's toxicity in two-spotted spider mite, suggesting effective pest management solution.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate the toxicity of bisulflufen against the two-spotted spider mite (TSSM) and its efficacy in field trials.
  • Laboratory assessments of bisulflufen toxicity to TSSM at various developmental stages
  • Determination of median lethal concentrations (LC₅₀) for different life stages
  • Field trials applied bisulflufen at concentrations of 150, 100, and 75 mg L −1 to evaluate pest control efficacy.
  • Bisulflufen has an LC₅₀ of 9.61 mg L −1 for female adults and 0.58 mg L −1 for eggs, showing high toxicity.
  • Field populations remained susceptible to bisulflufen with LC₅₀ values of 7.34–13.67 mg L −1.
  • Field trials achieved over 99.09% efficacy against TSSM 3 to 14 days post-treatment.
