Following
is historical information on the use of insecticides for management of
Sunn Pest. It is listed by country. The
information, which is condensed, comes directly from Miller, R.H. and Morse,
J.G. 1996. Sunn Pests and Their Control in the
Ultra-low
volume (ULV) applications are efficient and economical. In 1991, FAO introduced hand-held
battery-operated rotary-disk sprayers in northern
There are
many useful chemicals (insecticides), however, only a few are used on a large
scale. These include fenitrothion,
trichlorfon, fenthion, methyl-parathion, malathion and
diazinon. The quantity of pesticide
active ingredient per hectare could be substantially reduced by the addition of
small quantities of oil; experiments on fenitrothion in
Currently, chemical control is the only effective method used to
suppress Sunn Pest in
Chemical
control is the only tactic used to suppress Sunn Pest in
Chemicals
used in the past to control Sunn Pest outbreaks included trichlorfon (1
200g/ha), oxydemeton-methyl (1 400g/ha) and parathion (1 400g/ha) applied
aerially or with ground equipment.
Insecticide resistance has been observed with these chemicals. Trichlorfon generally gave 85% control,
oxydemeton-methyl 90% and parathion up to 90%.
Abbas and Shabbir (1961) reported
that in 1958, malthion 50%,
endrin 19.5%, toxaphene 60% and DDT
75% were sprayed on 12 500 ha in
