Effect of chemical insecticides on black bean aphid, Aphis fabae Scopoli (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

Chemical insecticides are one of the tools in integrated pest management programs. It is necessary to investigate their effect against Aphis fabae. In this research, effect of four insecticides, Flonicamide® 50% WG, Deltamethrin ®, Imidacloprid® 50% SC, and Indoxacarb® 15% SC were investigated against adults of Aphis fabae. The statistical design used in this research is considered as the randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications. In the present study of broad bean cultivation, Flonicamide® 50% WG, and Imidacloprid® 50% SC had the highest reduction on aphid population and showed a significant difference with other treatments Therefore, the above insecticides are recommended to control Aphis fabae.
