Responses of the grasshopper Melanoplus sanguinipes and M. differentialis (Orthoptera: Acrididae) to fenoxycarb
Journal of Economic Entomology 84 (4), 1163-1168
Abstract: Among the most promising juvenile hormone analogs is fenoxycarb. Melanoplus sanguinipes and M. differentialis are among the most important grasshopper pests of rangeland and crops in North America. Newly molted 4th instar M. sanguinipes grasshoppers were significantly affected by application of fenoxycarb. Nymphal and adult survival was reduced by topical treatment, and egg production by surviving females was inhibited. Bait application did not seem to affect mortality, but egg production was reduced. In M. differencialis fenoxycarb had no effect given topicaly or as bait. Adult M. saguinipes were relatively immune to fenoxycarb.
