Abstract:The substitutional insecticides using in soil under trees for controlling the overwintering larvae of Carposina niponensis Walsingham were studied. The toxicities of thirteen insecticides to overwintering larvae of Carposina niponensis Walsingham were tested with the method of toxic soil.The results showed that chlorpyrifos,triazophos,lambda-cyhalothrin,parathion-methyl and phoxim had high toxicity to the larvae. The LC90 value were 18.38, 22.48, 35.95, 47.63 and 49.57mg·kg-1,respectively,and the LC90 values of the other eight pesticides (including fenpropathrin,profenophos,abamectin,emamection benaoate, fenvalerate, malathion, benfuracarb and carbosulfan) were between 77.11-205.86mg·kg-1.The half-lives of chlorpyrifos, triazophos, lambda-cyhalothrin and abamectin were determined by high-performance liquid chromatograph, and the half-lives were 8.28, 11.37, 10.17 and 19.70d, respectively.According to the LC90 value, if a 30-day control period was expected, the applying concentrations of the four pesticides would be 226.36, 139.90, 278.03 and 346.81mg·kg-1 , respectively.Considering the toxicities, degradating velocity, the dose for the same control period and applied cost, chlorpyrifos and triazophos had higher values in controlling the overwintering larvae of Carposina niponensis Walsingham by applying them in the soil.
