Improved chemical control of Capnodis tenebrionis and C. carbonaria in stone-fruit plantations in Israel
Phytoparasitica 28 (1), 27-41
Abstract: Nine compounds and three modes of applications were tested to improve the control of two Capnodis spp., C. tenebrionis L. and C. carbonaria Klug (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), in local stone-fruit plantations. The best result was obtained by azinphos-methyl applied as a foliar spray. Suitable chemicals for dusting were methiocarb, azinphos-methyl and carbosulfan applied to the stem in late spring or prior to fruit harvest. Soil application of imidacloprid as a systemic insecticide is successful for protection of young plantations and nurseries. C. tenebrionis was less susceptible than C. carbonaria to the tested insecticides.
