Application of spinosad

Spinosad is a mixture containing the basic components of spinosyn A and spinosyn D, is a new type of green broad spectrum of biological pesticides, belonging the microbial source biochemical pesticides, compared with the general insecticide, spinosad has the advantages of quick effectiveness, no side effects, selective, safe to use, easily biodegradable and secure, the possibility of generate resistance is low, and with both the safety of chemical pesticides and the rapid effect of biological pesticides.

Spinosad has high prevention and control activity to lepidopteran pests (cabbage worm, diamondback moth, Helicoverpa armigera, Spodoptera exigua, beet armyworm, tobacco budworm, apple leaf roller, peach armyworm, cabbage webworm, armyworms), to part of Diptera (leaf miner, mosquitoes, flies, etc.), Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Thysanoptera, mesh and other pests also have a higher activity, the activity to pests devour leaves Orthoptera also recognized. The action mode of pesticide is to contact toxicity and stomach poisoning, both with the safety of bio-pesticides and the rapid effect of chemical pesticides, become effective on the same day, some of the residue of live insects apastia were died within two days.

Spinosad for grain stored in the meal moth such as, flour beetle, grain borer, rice weevil and books stored pests (addicted worm booklice, colorless booklice) and pests in the tobacco store such as tobacco moth have good control effect and lasting effect. Spinosad used in the above-mentioned areas, not only well-preserved of the application object, also solve the previous high poison on the pollution of the environment and application objects, ensure the health of the population. The results showed that: spinosad on the prevention of Grain Borer, when spinosad dose is 1ppm in wheat, whether contact 8 days or 14 days, the mortality rate were 100%, while the mortality rate of the control group is 2. 61% and 2.75%. To the prevention and treatment of rice weevil, when the spinosad dose is 1ppm in wheat, after contact 8 days, the mortality rate was 91.21%, and the mortality was 100% after contact 14 days; When the dosage is 3ppm, the mortality is 99.37% after 8 days, after 14 days the mortality rate was 100%. On the prevention and cure oryzaephilus surinamensis, 20ppm dose, after contact 8 days, the mortality was 98%, when the dose is 6ppm, after contact 14 days, the mortality is up to 96.69%. The preliminary test, spinosad on the prevention and control of pests in stored grain have superior functionality, it can replace the use of pesticides to combat pests in stored grain, and its toxicity to mammals is low, stable to environment, can control the known pests in stored grain which can resist chemical insecticide. Accordingly, we can expect in the near future, eradicate pests in stored grain should be also used antibiotics.

Spinosad, due to its unique mechanism of action, coupled with the characteristics of it difficult to produce cross-resistance with other agents, make it attracting much attention in the health and pest control. Tests proved that spinosad can effectively control all kinds of mosquitoes, flies, ticks and other pests in the environment, good control effect, prevent for a long time, become the alternative of pyrethroid health medication is hopeful.

Due to spinosad with low toxicity, easily biodegradable and more completely, while effective controlling pest is not easy to cause harm to livestock, aroused the attention of the veterinary industry, the application proved, it not only can kill parasites in vitro and vivo of livestock such as maggots, flies, also with little body residue, no doubt have a huge market prospects.
