Abstract:
In order to control tobacco pests using green technologies and to clarify the control efficacies of 8 biological pesticides on
Helicoverpa assulta and
Helicoverpa armigera, field experiments were conducted in two consecutive years. The results showed that all the pesticides tested had certain control efficacies on
Helicoverpa assulta and
Helicoverpa armigera. The control efficacies of 1.0×10
11 spore/mL
Empedobacter brevis SC, 0.5% matrine AS and 32 000 IU/mg
Bacillus thuringiensis WP were over 80% after a single application and were over 99% after two applications. The control efficacies of 0.3% azadirachtin EC, 10% spinosad SC, 2.0×10
10 PIB/mL
Helicoverpa armigera Nucleopolyhedrovirus SC, 1.0×10
10 PIB/g
Mamestra brassicae Nucleopolyhedrovirus WP, 0.5% veratrine SL were over 80% after two applications. In addition, the yield and output value of tobacco exposed to 8 biopesticides were higher than those exposed to water (the control). Therefore, these biological pesticides can be used to control
Helicoverpa assulta and
Helicoverpa armigera in tobacco fields.
