Abstract:It is an urgent problem to be solved by selecting higher efficient, lower poisonous, less residual pesticides in the practice of integrated control of Scatopse sp., one important edible fungus insect pest. In this paper, effects of eight widely used insecticides on Scatopse sp. were assessed in the laboratory and nursing house of the edible fungi. The side-effects of tested insecticides on mycelium growth of edible fungi and insecticide residues were also observed. The results showed that the excellent controlling efficiencies to Scatopse sp. were founded after 40% phoxim EC, 40% omethoate EC and 48% chlorpyrifos EC treatment. But higher inhibition rates to mushroom mycelium growth were also observed in these insecticide treatments than that of other insecticides treatments. Among the other five insecticides tested, higher controlling efficiencies to the adult and larva of Scatopse sp. and lower inhibition rates to mushroom mycelium growth were obtained after spraying 10% imidacloprid WP and 4.5% beta-cyfluthrin EC. Residues of 2.5% lambda-cyhalothrin EW, 4.5% beta-cyfluthrin EC, 1.8% abamectin EC were no detectable on 5th day after used. The residues of 5% fipronil SC and 10% imidacloprid WP were founded on 15th day after spraying.
