Buprofezin (Applaud), a new insecticide, is highly selective. It is effective at low rates against nymphs of Nilapartvata lugens (Stal) (Delphacidae), Sogatella furcifera (Horvath) (Delphacidae) and Nephotettix virescens (Distant) (Cicadellidae) but safe to their predators, Lycosa pseudoannulata (Boes. and Str.) (Lycosidae), Cyrtorhinus lividipennis Reuter (Miridae), and Microvelia atrolineata (Bergroth) (Veliidae). Because hopper death occurs at molting, adult hoppers are not affected. Residual activity of buprofezin in insectary and field tests was longer than that of currently used carbamate insecticides.
