Abstract:

In order to screen out compound insecticides that can effectively control the population of rice planthopper and delay the pymetrozine-resistance occurrence, four pymetrozine compound insecticides were selected in this experiment. They were 57% thiamethoxam·pymetrozine WDG, 30% pymetrozine·clothianidin SC, 35% thiamethoxam·pymetrozine WDG, and 70% pymetrozine·dinotefuran WDG. 25% pymetrozine SC was used as control agent, and water treatment was the blank. The insecticides were applied at the peak of the young nymphs of rice planthopper. The population number of rice planthopper and spider were investigated 3, 7, 14 and 21 days after application. The results showed that the 4 pymetrozine compound insecticides had good control effect on rice planthopper. The control effect of the 4 insecticides on rice planthopper was over 89% on the 3rd day after treatment, and they were still more than 98% on the 14th day after treatment. On the 21st day after treatment, the control effect of 35% thiamethoxam·pymetrozine WDG was 86.26%, and the control effect of the other three insecticides was still above 90%. The four pymetrozine compounds had no significant influence on spider population and rice growth. Therefore, the four pymetrozine compounds can effectively control the population of rice planthopper and are safe to the natural enemy (spiders), which can be widely applied in rice production.
