Abstract:In order to extend the application scope of pyridaben, the toxicity of pyridaben to Bemisia tabaci biotype B, Laodelphax striatellus and Phyllotreta striolata were detected using the residual film and immersion methods. The results showed that pyridaben had higher toxicity than the other pesticides to adults of B.tabaci biotype B and P.striolata with LC50 0.952 mg/L and 0.252 mg/L, respectively. The LC50 of pyridaben to nymphs of B.tabaci biotype B was 43.148 mg/L, the toxicity of which was lower than those of acetamiprid and imidacloprid, as high as nitenpyram, but higher than pyriproxyfen nearly one time. The LC50 of pyridaben to L.striatellus was 195.123 mg/L, which was lower than that of chlorpyrifos, but was higher than those of acetamiprid and imidacloprid. The results showed that pyridaben had high toxicity to adults of B.tabaci biotype B and L.striatellus, to nymphs of B.tabaci and P.striolata as well. The results indicated that pyridaben was worthy to be further studied and developed.
