Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Abamectin had the most ovicidal effect on Tuta absoluta eggs among the tested insecticides in laboratory conditions.
- Intervention effect Imidacloprid had the least ovicidal effect on Tuta absoluta eggs among the tested insecticides.
- Intervention effect None of the tested insecticides had a satisfactory effect on the adult stage of Tuta absoluta.
- Intervention effect Spinosad gave the maximum adulticide impact, 40%, on Tuta absoluta.
- Intervention effect Abamectin with an LC50 of 0.45 mg ai.l-1 had the most toxicity to third instar larvae of Tuta absoluta.
- Intervention effect Imidacloprid with an LC50 of 980 mg ai.l-1 had the least toxicity to third instar larvae of Tuta absoluta.
- Intervention effect Abamectin and spinosad had the highest toxicity against the egg, larval and adult stages of Tuta absoluta.
- Recommendation Selective insecticides such as indoxacarb should be used when natural enemies are very active or the larval population of the tomato leaf miner dominates.
