absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) with Reference to Their Residues in
Harvested Tomato Fruits]]>MahmoudY.A. SalemH.A. ShalabySh. E.M. Abdel-RazakA.S. EbadahI.M.A. 4201494Tomato leaf miner Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) is present throughout the
crop duration, larvae can infest leaves, flowers, stem and fruits that causing
important losses in tomatoes. So, this study was carried out to evaluate the
efficiency of four low toxicity insecticides against this insect under field
conditions, as well as the dissipation of coragen and aljambo residues in harvested
tomato fruits were determined. Results indicated that the differences between
the numbers of alive larvae ranged from low significant as in avant and superlambada
to highly significant as in coragen and aljambo insecticides in relation to
control at all observation periods and the percent reduction in infestation
with tomato leaf miner decreased with time elapsed. Coragen and aljambo affected
strongly the number of eggs laid by T. absoluta females where highly
significant decrease in the number of deposited eggs was observed. At all tested
periods, there were highly significant reductions in the number of tunnels in
the leaves treated with coragen and aljambo insecticides. On the other hand,
the initial deposits of coragen and aljambo on tomato fruits were 11.4 and 9.6
ppm, respectively. The residue loss of both insecticides continued on over time.
Washing process caused significant decrease in both compounds residue. Generally,
coragen insecticide was the most toxic against this pest followed by aljambo
and superlambda while, avaunt was the lowest toxic compound.]]>Anonymous,20012001Anonymous,20122012Bonnechere, A., V. Hanot, R. Jolie, M. Hendrickx, C. Bragard, T. Bedoret and J.
