Efficiency of GCSC-BtA, as a new type of biocide, on different agricultural arthropod pests and its side-effect on some predators
- A new type of biocide GCSC-BtA, named from "Germany-China Scientific Cooperation-Bacillus thuringiensis-Abamectin", was successfully developed by conjugating delta-endotoxin of Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.) with Abamectin from Streptomyces avermitilis through conjugator EDC for control of different agricultural arthropod pests. The laboratory results of efficiency of biocide GCSC-BtA to four different arthropod pests and its side-effect on two species of predators are presented in this paper. The results showed significant differences in the mortalities of Tetranychus cinnabarinus (BOISD.) (Acari, Tetranychidae), Frankliniella occidentalis PERGANDE (Thys., Thripidae), Aphis fabae SCOPOLI (Hom., Aphididae) and Cameraria ohridella DESCHKA ET DIMI´C (Lep., Gracillariidae) caused by treatment of 0.6250 mg/ml of formulated product of GCSC-BtA, B.t., Abamectin and Cypermethrin. GCSC-BtA treatment caused higher mortalities of 86.37%, 94.82%, 94.15% and 93.23% in T. cinnabarinus, F. occidentalis, A. fabae and C. ohridella, respectively. Mortalities caused by Abamectin treatment were 73.92%, 63.3%, 86.52% and 73.48%, and by Cypermethrin treatment were 44.29%, 57.28%, 97.68% and 51.26%, respectively. B.t. could only kill C. ohridella with 87.62% mortality. Pesticidal treatment gave variations in mortalities of Orius strigicollis POPPIUS (Het., Anthocoridae) and Stethorus cantonensis PANG (Col., Coccinellidae) predators at p < 0.01, where 0.6250 mg/ml GCSC-BtA caused 21.76% and 32.42% mortalities, while the same rate of products of Abamectin with 73.26% and 87.67% as well as Cypermethrin with 86.43% and 93.83% mortalities, respectively. It is concluded that the biocide GCSC-BtA has increased efficacies as well as host ranges of B.t. and Abamectin, but displayed safer to some predators.
