Comparing effective insecticides against the Hawaiian flower thrips, Thrips hawaiiensis (Morgan), and the garden pea leafminer, Chromatomyia horticola (Goureau), for development of useful control on the garden pea (snap pea), Pisum sativum L.

Abstract

The efficacy of insecticides against adults of the Hawaiian flower thrips, Thrips hawaiiensis (Morgan), and larvae of the garden pea leafminer, Chromatomyia horticola (Goureau), on the garden pea (snap pea), Pisum sativum L., was evaluated under laboratory conditions. Seven insectides (cartap, chlorfenapyr, clothianidin, emamectin, phenthoate, imidacloprid, and spinetoram) were effective against T. hawaiiensis adults and three insecticides (chlorantraniliprole, imidacloprid, and spinetoram) were effective against C. horticola larvae.
