Abstract:The insect growth regulator (TGRs), Dimilin and Benzophenol Urea No..3(1-(4-chloropheny)-3-(2-chlorobenzoyl) urea) have been shown to be effective against the. Armyworm (Mythimna sepatata walker) and several fruit pests. The objective of two IGRs to the adults, eggs, larvae and pupae of Leis axvridis (Pallas), Propylaca japonica (Thunberg) and Chrysopa sinica (Tjeder) have been taken in the laboratory and fields during. 1978-1982 in Gongzhuling, Jilin Province.
Results of these studies indicated that toxicity of application of Dimilin at rates of 15, 25, 50g/ha(ai) and of Benzophenol Urea No.3 at rates of 75, 150 and 300g/ha(ai) were not significant to Leis axyridis (Pallas) and Propylaca japonica (Thunberg), but caused Significant mortality to Chrysopa sinica (Tjeder). Treatment with Dimilin (applied at 30g/ha(ai)) and BenzoPhenol Urea No. 3 (applied at 150, 300g/ha(ai)) in scale-feilds for controlling Armyworm did not appear adverse influence to lady beetles.
