- - The cabbage aphid is a significant pest affecting cruciferous crops globally, with growing resistance to traditional pesticides leading to the need for integrated pest management (IPM) that includes new solutions.
- - Spirotetramat, a new insecticide targeting sap-sucking pests, was tested for its toxicity to adult cabbage aphids, revealing a lethal concentration (LC) of 1.304 mg/L after 72 hours, and significant negative effects at sublethal concentrations on the aphid’s lifespan and reproductive success.
- - The study found that while spirotetramat negatively impacted the nymphal survival and extended immature development stages of the F generation (offspring), it did not affect the mean generation time
