METHOD FOR CONTROLLING HARMFUL ORGANISMS IN THE CULTURE OF USEFUL PLANTS.

摘要

Method for controlling pests in genetically modified vegetables that contain and express a gene for an insecticidal protein of Bacillus thuringiensis, involves applying to the plants, selected pesticides (A). (A) is any one or more of: (a) 39 organophosphorus compounds; (b) 21 pyrethroids; (c) 21 carbamate insecticides; (d) 9 biopesticides; (e) 12 insecticidal growth regulators or (f) 21 other compounds. Method for controlling pests in genetically modified vegetables that contain and express a gene for an insecticidal protein of Bacillus thuringiensis, involves applying to the plants (or their seeds, reproductive material or growing surface), selected pesticides (A). (A) is any one or more of: (a) 39 organophosphorus compounds e.g. acephate, azinphos-(m)ethyl, cadusafos, chlorfenvinphos, chlormephos, chlorpyrifos, demeton-S-methyl, diazinone, dicrotophos, dimethoate, disulfoton, ethion, ethoprophos, etrimfos, fonofos, isazofos, isofenphos, mlathion, methamidophos, methidathion, mevinphos, monocrotophos, pmethoate, parathion, phenthoate, phorate, phosalone, phosmet, phosphamidon, phoxim, pirimiphosmethyl, profenofos, prothiofos, pyridaphenthion, quinalphos, terbufos, tetrachlorvinphos or triazophos; (b) 21 pyrethroids e.g. acrinathrin, allethrin, bifenthrin, cycloprothrin, (beta )cyfluthrin, (lambda )-cyhalothrin, (alpha , beta or zeta) cypermethrin,deltamethrin, esfenvalerate, fenpropathrin, fenvalerate, flucythrinate, (tau )-fluvalinate, permethrin, tefluthrin, tralomethrin, or ZXI-8901; (c) 21 carbamate insecticides e.g. alanycarb, aldicarb, amitraz, bendiocarb, benfuracarb, butocarboxim, carbaryl, carbofuran, carbosulfan, ethiocarb, formetanate, furathiocarb, isoprocarb, methiocarb, methomyl, oxamyl, pirimicarb, propoxur, thiofanox, thiodicarb or trimethacarb; (d) 9 biopesticides e.g. B. thuringiensis, B. firmus, granulosis or nuclear polyhedrosis viruses, Beauveria bassiana, Beauveria brogniartii or baculoviruses such as that from Autographa californica; (e) 12 insecticidal growth regulators e.g. chlorfluazuron, DBI-3204, diflubenzuron, flucycloxuron, flufenoxuron, hexaflumuron, lufenuron, novauron, methoxyfenozide, teflubenzuron, tebufenozide or triflumuron; or (f) 21 other compounds e.g. abamectin, bensultap, cartap, chlordane, chlorfenapyr, DNOC, endosulfan, fipronil, ethiprole, inidacoprid, thiacloprid, phosphines, oleic acid/fatty acids, pymetrozine, thiocyclam, IKI-220, tolfenpyrad, acetamiprid, spinosad, sialfluofen or thiamethoxam. ACTIVITY : Insecticide; Acaricide; Nematocide. Cauliflower plants (7 weeks old) that expressed the B. thuringiensistoxin cry9C were sprayed with tolfenpyrad at 30 g/hectare, then infested with 5 L2 and 5 L3 larvae of Plutella xylostella. After 7 days, feeding damage was 0% and larval mortality 100%; compare 10% damage and 0% mortality when plants were treated but did not express cry9C, and 15% damage and 30% mortality for untreated plants that expressed cry9C. MECHANISM OF ACTION : None given in the source material.
