Effectiveness of spinosad dust formulation, that contains 0.125% spinosad, was evaluated against adults Callosubruchus maculatus (F.) on four commodities: chickpea, split pea, cowpea and lentil. Spinosad was applied at three dose rates: 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 g/kg, corresponding to 0.125, 0.25 and 0.375 mg/kg of the active ingredient, respectively. The experiment was carried out at 27°C and 55±5% relative humidity. Adults mortality was measured after 1, 2, 5 and 10-days of exposure. After the 10-day mortality count, all surviving insects were removed and samples retained under the same conditions for a further 35 days to assess progeny reduction. Mortality of …

The insecticidal effect of spinosad dust, a formulation that contains 0.125% spinosad, was evaluated against adults of Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) on 4 commodities: safflower, sunflower, sesame, and canola. Fifty grams of each commodities were treated with 3 doses of the formulation: 100, 200, and 300 ppm, (corresponding to 0.125, 0.25, and 0.375 mg kg–1 a.i., respectively) at 27 °C and 60 ± 5% relative humidity. The mortality of T. castaneum adults was measured after 1, 2, 7, 14, and 21 days of exposure. After the mortality count on day 21, all surviving insects were removed while the samples were kept …
