Abstract

Abstract:

In order to provide a scientific basis for the rational use of neonicotinoid insecticides, the acute toxicity of six neonicotinoid insecticides and other 2 kinds of control insecticides to the silkworm (Bombyx mori) were determined by using leaf dipping method, and the risk assessment was also carried out according to the risk quotient method. Results exhibited that the 96 h-LC₅₀ values of acetamiprid and clothianidin to B. mori were 0.262 and 0.268 mg·L^-1, respectively, which belonged to extremely toxic grade. The 96 h-LC₅₀ values of thiacloprid, imidacloprid, dinotefuran and thiamethoxam to the organisms were 0.582, 1.68, 2.60 and 2.16 mg·L^-1, respectively, which belonged to highly toxic grade. The 96 h-LC₅₀ values of lambda-cyhalothrin, chlorpyrifos and malathion to the silkworms were 0.009 09, 0.785 and 1 072 mg·L^-1, respectively, which belonged to extremely toxic grade, highly toxic grade and lowly toxic grade, respectively. Risk assessment results indicated that the risk of malathion to the silkworm was acceptable, and the other eight insecticides were unacceptable. Therefore, neonicotinoid insecticides should be used cautiously in integrated pest management to avoid harm for sericulture.

Key words: neonicotinoid insecticides, silkworm, acute toxicity, risk assessment
