Abstract
The reproductive potential of Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.) was significantly reduced by aerial applications of diflubenzuron (N-[[(4-chlorophenyl)amino]carbonyl]-2,-6-difluorobenzamide), 25W, plus spray oil. The diflubenzuron reduced the hatch of eggs, and the oil caused eggs to become detached from foliage. As a result, viable eggs were reduced 95, 97, 95, and 95%, respectively, for 4 consecutive wk posttreatment. A spray volume of 47 liter/ha (350 g diflubenzuron/ha in 50/50 spray oil plus water) applied by air to a bearing citrus grove was more effective than a spray volume of 9-liter/ha.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
