Nitenpyram seed treatment effectively controls against the mirid bug Apolygus lucorum in cotton seedlings

Abstract The mirid bug Apolygus lucorum (Meyer-Dür) has become a major pest in cotton fields and has led to significant yield losses due to the widespread use of transgenic Bt cotton in China. Eight neonicotinoid seed treatments were investigated to determine their effects on the management of A. lu...
