D3250: Insecticide response of chili thrips, Scirtothrips dorsalis in greenhouse mango in Korea

In Korea, mangoes, a tropical fruit, are grown in greenhouses. In the mango greenhouse cultivation area, various diseases and pests cause damage, especially chili thrips (CT), Scirtothrips dorsalis. Various classes of insecticides are used to control CT in mango. Resistance expression has become a problem due to the continuous use of pesticides against CT. In this study, In this study, the insecticide response of the field collection population of CT was evaluated using 8 types of insecticides (Abamectin 1.8% EC, Bifenthrin 2% WP, Chlorfenapyr 5% EC, Cyantraniliprole 10% SE, Dinotefuran 20% SG, Emamectin benzoate 2.15% EC, Spinetoram 5% SC and Thiacloprid 10% SC). The insecticidal effect of CT on pesticides was different depending on the pesticide and the collection area. Emamectin benzoate, Chlorfenapy, and spinetoram had excellent efficacy against CT.
