Abstract:
[Objectives] To determine the synergistic effect of
combining three spray adjuvants; Qiangliyuan, Organosilicone and Huainongte,
with imidacloprid, abamectin and matrine. [Methods] An indoor toxicity bioassay and field
trials were carried out using the leaf-dipping, pest-dipping and spray,
methods. [Results] The relative
synergistic effect of the three spray adjuvants was as follows: Qiangliyuan>
Organosilicone> Huainongte. Applying imidacloprid, abamectin and matrine for
48 h resulted in LC50 values for Bemisia tabaci nymphs of
37.714 6, 1.806 2, and 10.563 2 mg/L, respectively. These LC50 values were reduced to 13.018 8, 1.099 0, and 2.711 6 mg/L by the addition of
Qiangliyuan, to 16.190 0, 1.271 9, and 3.1609 mg/L by the addition of
Organosilicone and to 20.085 1, 1.324 7, and 3.760 3 mg/L by the addition of
Huainongte. Field trials showed that the effectiveness of all three pesticides
was significantly improved by the addition of the three spray adjuvants. The
addition of Qiangliyuan and Organosilicone significantly increased the
effectiveness of all three pesticides against B. tabaci, and the addition of Huainongte either slightly improved,
or did not change, the effectiveness of each pesticide. The effectiveness of
imidacloprid, abamectin, and matrine with added Qiangliyuan peaked three days
after application, reaching 97.11%, 90.83% and 88.17%, respectively, despite
the dosage of each pesticide being reduced by 20% by the addition of this adjuvant.
Addition of all three adjuvants reduced the dosage of each pesticide by 40%.
Nonetheless, the effectiveness of imidacloprid, abamectin and matrine seven
days after application was 75.55%-80.76%, 71.84%-79.12% and 68.60%-75.74%. [Conclusion] The effectiveness of imidacloprid,
abamectin and matrine against B. tabaci can be significantly improved,
and the dosage of these pesticides reduced by 20%-30%, by adding the adjuvants
Qiangliyuan, Organosilicone and Huainongte.
