Effects of insecticides on Selenothrips rubrocinctus (Giard) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) collected from sweetgum in Kyoto Prefecture

Abstract

The effects of insecticides on red-banded thrips, Selenothrips rubrocinctus (Giard) collected from sweetgum, were evaluated. Among the eleven insecticides tested on adults using the maple-tree-leaf dipping method, fenitrothion, acetamiprid, clothianidin, spinetoram, emamectin benzoate, chlorfenapyr, fluxametamide, permethrin, and cyantraniliprole were found to be highly toxic.

Among these, fenitrothion, acetamiprid, and pyrifluquinazone also showed high mortality for larvae.
