Medientyp: E-Artikel Titel: Translocation and translaminar bioavailability of two neonicotinoid insecticides after foliar application to cabbage and cotton Beteiligte: Buchholz, Anke; Nauen, Ralf Erschienen: Wiley, 2002 Erschienen in: Pest Management Science Sprache: Englisch DOI: 10.1002/ps.401 ISSN: 1526-498X; 1526-4998 Schlagwörter: Insect Science ; Agronomy and Crop Science ; General Medicine Entstehung: Anmerkungen: Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>A laboratory study was undertaken to investigate the leaf systemic properties and the translaminar aphicidal activity of two commercialised neonicotinoid (chloronicotinyl) insecticides. For that purpose [<jats:sup>14</jats:sup>C]imidacloprid was subjected to uptake and translocation studies in cabbage and cotton after foliar application. Foliar penetration and short‐term translocation patterns of imidacloprid were similar in both plant species. Nevertheless imidacloprid penetrated twice as much into cabbage leaves as it did into cotton leaves. It showed a comparable translaminar behaviour and was entirely translocated acropetally, indicating its well‐known xylem mobility. The translaminar and acropetal movement of imidacloprid and acetamiprid were quantified by simple laboratory bioassays using the green peach aphid, <jats:italic>Myzus persicae</jats:italic> (Sulzer), and the cotton aphid, <jats:italic>Aphis gossypii</jats:italic> (Glover), as typical homopteran pests for cabbage and cotton, respectively. A single dose (7.5 µg AI per leaf) applied to the upper leaf surface of cabbage and cotton was tested against aphids feeding on the lower leaf surface both close to and distant from the site of application 1, 5 and 12 days after treatment. The translaminar residual activity of imidacloprid on cabbage leaves was superior to that of acetamiprid, whereas its translaminar efficacy against <jats:italic>A gossypii</jats:italic> on cotton was inferior to that of acetamiprid. However, oral ingestion bioassays using an artificial double membrane feeding system revealed no significant differences in intrinsic activity between the two neonicotinoids tested.</jats:p><jats:p>© 2001 Society of Chemical Industry</jats:p>
