Compatibility of neonicotinoid seed treatments with carbamate granules in

摘要

No adverse interactions on plant growth or vigour were recorded between the neonicotinoid seed treatments, imidacloprid (at 90 g ai./unit), thiamethoxam plus tefluthrin (at 60+8 g a.i./unit) and clothianidin plus betacyfluthrin (at 60+8g a.i./unit), and the carbamate granules aldicarb (at 510 g a.i./ha), benfuracarb (at 600 g a.i./ha), carbosulfan (at 600 g a.i./ha) and oxamyl (at 600 g a.i./ha) applied down the furrow at sowing of sugar beet pelleted seed. None of the neonicotinoid treatments gave any control of free-living nematodes that cause Docking disorder, but all four carbamates gave significant yield increases at one infested site in 2004.
