}BACKGROUND
Soil application of systemic neonicotinoid insecticides can provide opportunities for long-term control of insect pests in vineyards, with minimal risk of pesticide drift or worker exposure. This study compared the effectiveness of neonicotinoid insecticides applied via irrigation injection on key early-season and mid-season insect pests of vineyards in the eastern United States.
RESULTS
On vines trained to grow on drip irrigation, early-season application of imidacloprid…

Drip chemigation was an effective tool for managing key insect pests, provided a broad range of human and environmental health benefits, and will likely become increasingly cost effective in the future as insecticide patents expire and more insecticide options become available.

The amounts of thiamethoxam found in the honey sacs of water-foraging honey bees were therefore below the thresholds in nectar and pollen that are considered to have negative effects on honey bees after chronic exposure.

This PhD work aimed at developing an ecologically-based integrated management strategy for wētā based on an understanding of the biology and ecology of the species associated with vine damage, and confirmed that a single species was associated with bud damage.
Laboratory Evaluation of the Toxicity of Systemic Insecticides to Emerald Ash Borer Larvae

Testing the relative efficacy of systemic insecticides to control emerald ash borer larvae in winter 2009 and 2010 found that insecticide efficacy in the field will depend on adult and larval mortality as well as leaf and phloem insecticide residues.

Neonicotinoid insecticides can control E. fabae in small vines, even in rapidly expanding foliage where this pest causes greatest injury, and provide superior long-term vine protection because declining residues on foliar-treated vines lead to suboptimal activity within 2-3 weeks.

Rainfastness and Residual Activity of Insecticides to Control Japanese Beetle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) in Grapes
- BiologyJournal of economic entomology
- 2011
The two most toxic insecticides to Japanese beetle were phosmet and carbaryl, followed by bifenthrin, thiamethoxam, and then indoxacarb, which will help vineyard managers make informed decisions on when reapplications of insecticides are needed.
Lethal and Sublethal Activities of Imidacloprid Contribute to Control of Adult Japanese Beetle in Blueberries

Japanese beetle mortality was highly correlated with imidacloprid fruit and leaf surface residues, whereas sublethal feeding deterrent effects were observed after the surface residues diminished, suggesting that earlier treatment timings may be most effective for systemic neonicotinoids.
Control of Bagworms (Lepidoptera: Psychidae) Using Contact and Soil-Applied Systemic Insecticides

Chlorantranilipole and indoxacarb were as effective in controlling bagworms as other contact insecticides commercially available and may therefore provide an effective tool to protect the foliage of arborvitae against bagworms over a sustained period.
Applied aspects of neonicotinoid uses in crop protection.
- BiologyPest management science

New formulations have been developed to optimize the bioavailability of neonicotinoids through improved rain fastness, better retention and spreading of the spray deposit on the leaf surface, combined with higher leaf penetration, which will turn neonic nicotine into the most important chemical class in crop protection within the next few years.

Drip irrigation was demonstrated as a viable alternative for application of water-soluble and insoluble materials; however, the discharge rates of EPF and SF must first be determined to compensate for their non-uniformity of delivery and low recovery rates from emitters.

The imidacloprid soil metabolism was studied in a new organic fertilizer trial made on another field at Lubbeek in 1993 and in a sugar beet trial located at Remicourt, one part of the field had not been treated with organic fertilizers for 18 years, but its soil contained a high concentration of soil organic matter.
