How to control thrips - single formulation
Thrips have always been the most difficult type of pest to control in agricultural production, because its generation overlap is very high. In almost any period of time, its eggs, nymphs, and adults exist at the same time, so the more you fight against them, the harder it is to fight. So, in actual prevention and control, what pesticides should we use? How to match them? Let's talk about it today!
Nicotine pesticides
It is one of the commonly used pesticides for the prevention and control of thrips. It is characterized by good systemic absorption and long lasting effect.
Acetamiprid |
A basic version of thrips control pesticide, mainly used in areas where thrips have low resistance. |
Thiamethoxam |
This is one of the commonly used pesticides for the prevention and control of resistant thrips. It has a general contact killing effect, but a strong systemic effect and a long lasting effect. It is recommended to use it with a quick-acting pesticide. |
Clothianidin |
In recent years, in some areas, the amount of clothianidin used to control thrips has been relatively large, and its effectiveness is stronger than that of thiamethoxam. |
Dinotefuran |
A nicotinoid insecticide with faster-acting properties than clothianidin. Currently, thrips generally have average resistance to it, and it also has a certain systemic effect. |
Pyrethroid insecticides
It is a commonly used agent for the prevention and control of thrips. This type of ingredient mainly acts as a contact and stomach poison, and has no systemic effect. It is mostly used as a compound pesticide and is not recommended to be used alone.
Alpha-cypermethrin |
It is a pyrethroid insecticide with very high activity, and is quite effective in controlling thrips with medium or low resistance. It is recommended to be mixed with nicotine insecticides, which are both fast-acting and long-lasting. |
Lambda-cyhalothrin |
Because it contains fluorine, it is more active and has a certain contact killing effect on low-resistant thrips. In order to improve the effect, it is recommended to use it with thiamethoxam and clothianidin. |
Organophosphate insecticides
Malathion |
Its advantage is that it not only has a contact effect, but also has a certain fumigation effect. Please note that this ingredient pesticide is not recommended for use in young and tender crops, as the fumigation effect is prone to cause pesticide damage, so try to mix it with nicotine insecticides. |
Antibiotic pesticides
Spinetoram |
It is a commonly used agent for controlling thrips, mainly killing by contact. It is specifically used to treat resistant thrips. It is recommended to be used in combination with thiamethoxam to increase the effective period, but the cost is relatively high. |
Ovicide insecticides
In the field of thrips control, ovicide insecticides cannot be ignored. They are of great significance in overcoming the problem of overlapping generations of thrips.
Pyriproxyfen |
It is the first choice of ovicide for the control of thrips. It can inhibit the hatching of eggs, the molting of nymphs, and reduce the egg-laying rate of adults. When controlling thrips, any pesticide mixed with pyriproxyfen can greatly increase the effective period. |
Amide insecticides
It also has good effects in the field of thrips control. Its main mode of action is also systemic insecticide, and its contact effect is generally
Flonicamid |
It is mainly used to control highly resistant thrips, and its rapid effect is slow. It is recommended to use it with fast-acting insecticides such as acetamiprid |
Cyantraniliprole |
It can not only prevent and control thrips, but also caterpillars and other pests. It has good effects on various pests, but the cost is relatively high. |
Tolfenpyrad |
Its resistance is average, and its contact killing effect is better |
Others
Spirotetramat |
The typical characteristics are strong systemic effect and no contact killing effect. It is recommended to be used with fast-acting pesticides such as acetamiprid and dinotefuran. When used together, the effective period is significantly extended. |
Pymetrozine |
Its main mechanism of action is systemic action, with a general contact effect, and it can also be conducted up and down in the plant body. This ingredient has a slow effect, but it is faster than spirotetramat and has a lower cost. It is recommended to be used as a medicine, and can be used in combination with nitenpyram and acetamiprid. |
