Abstract

Five insecticides and three mixtures were tested on the cotton flea beetle (CFB), Podagricapuncticotis (Weise), the spiny bollworm (SBW), Earias insulana (Boisd.), and the cotton aphids (CA), Aphis gossypii (Glov.). The relative potency (in terms of LD50 and or LC50) for CFB followed this order: endosulfan + dimethoate > endosulfan + chlorpyrifos > dimethoate > fenvalerate > endosulfan > endosulfan + amitraz > amitraz. The LCS0 values ranged from 12. 0–1150 ppm. For SBW, the following order was obtained: fenvalerate > endosulfan + dimethoate, endosulfan + chlorpyrifos > endosulfan > dimethoate > chlorpyrifos > endosulfan + amitraz > amitraz. LC50 ranged between 0.35 and 3388 ppm. With regard to CA endosulfan + chlorpyrifos > endosulfan + dimethoate > endosulfan + amitraz > chlorpyrifos > endosulfan > fenvalerate > dimethoate > amitraz.

In general, C A was relatively tolerant to most tested insecticides when compared with the other two pests. The SBW was the most susceptible.

Résumé

Cinq insecticides et trois melanges ont été testés sur la puce terrestre de coton (CFB), Podagrica puncticolis (Weise), le ver épineux de capsule (SBW), Earias insulana (Boisd.) et le puceron du coton (CA), Aphis gossypii (Glov.). L'efficacité relative (exprimée en DL50 et/ou CL50) pour le CFB suit cet ordre: endosulfan + dimethoate > endosulfan + chlorpyrifos > dimethoate > fenvalerate > endosulfan > endosulfan + amitraz. Les valeurs des CL50 se situent dans I'ordre de 12,0–1150 ppm. En ce qui concerne le SBW, l'ordre suivant a été obtenu: fenvalerate > endosulfan + dimethoate, endosulfan + chlorpyrifos > endosulfan > dimethoate > chlorpyrifos > endosulfan + amitraz. Les CL50 sont entre 0,35 et 3388 ppm. Quant au CA endosulfan + chlorpyrifos > endosulfan + dimethoate > endosulfan + amitraz > chlorpyifos endosulfan > fenvalerate > dimethoate > amitraz.

En general, le CA a été relativement tolerant à la plupart des insecticides testés lorsqu'il a etc compare avec les deux autres ravageurs. Le SBW à été le plus sensible.
