Abstract

A field study evaluated the efficiency and economic feasibility of using three Neonicotinoids to control Flat-headed borers infesting Jujube orchards in Basra Province during 2020 and 2021. The insecticides tested were Acetamiprid, Imidacloprid and Thiamethoxam, with recommended field application rates. This study showed that Acetamiprid and Imidacloprid provided the best protection to jujube trees, reflected in the high average efficiency (88.70% and 93.40%, respectively). Acetamiprid and Thiamethoxam enhanced the production, with an average of 60.10 and 60.00 kg/tree, respectively, compared to 39.50 kg of the check trees. Thus, the study showed the highest economic return from controlling the flat-headed borers using Acetamiprid and Thiamethoxam (5714900 and 5676500 dinars/ dunum, respectively). In contrast, the economic returns of Imidacloprid were 5082900 Iraqi dinars/ dunum. These results confirmed that the high economic feasibility was related to the efficacy of the low-cost insecticides in reducing the fruit infestation rate and increasing the yield. Keywords: Buprestidae; Insecticides; flat-headed borers; Economic visibility; Neonicotinoids.

使用新烟碱类杀虫剂防治伊拉克巴士拉省枣园中的扁头蛀虫 Chrysobothris affinis (Fabricius, 1794) (Buprestidae: Coleoptera) 的效率和经济可行性

一项田间研究评估了 2020 年和 2021 年期间使用三种新烟碱类杀虫剂防治侵扰巴士拉省枣园的扁头蛀虫的效率和经济可行性。测试的杀虫剂是啶虫脒、吡虫啉和噻虫嗪，建议的田间施用量是啶虫脒、吡虫啉和噻虫嗪。研究结果表明，啶虫脒和吡虫啉对枣树的保护效果最好，平均效率高（分别为 88.70% 和 93.40%）。啶虫脒和噻虫嗪提高了枣树的产量，平均每棵枣树的产量分别为 60.10 公斤和 60.00 公斤，而对照树的产量为 39.50 公斤。因此，研究表明，使用啶虫脒和噻虫胺防治平头钻心虫的经济收益最高（分别为 5714900 第纳尔/杜努姆和 5676500 第纳尔/杜努姆）。相比之下，吡虫啉的经济收益为 5082900 伊拉克第纳尔/杜努姆。这些结果证实，高经济可行性与低成本杀虫剂在降低果实虫害率和提高产量方面的功效有关。关键词扁头蛀虫；杀虫剂；经济可行性；新烟碱类。
