DIAMOND INSECTICIDE:BROAD SPECTRUM CONTROL OF HELIOTHINES, LOOPERS, AND ARMYWORMS IN ADDITION TO LYGUS, STINKBUGS, AND FLEAHOPPERS

摘要

Diamond, common name novaluron, is an insecticide in the benzoylphenyl urea class of chemistry. It was recently registered in the U.S.A after acceptance as an Organophosphate Replacement product for cotton. Field-tests during 2005 confirmed earlier results demonstrating activity on immature stages of Lygus spp., Lepidoptera (e.g. Pseudoplusia includens, Spodoptera spp.), stinkbugs (spp.), and Pseudatomoscelis seriatus. Research continues across the cottonbelt to further define insect spectrum and best use recommendations.
