A study was carried out to assess the feasibility of monitoring the exposure of barn owls (Tyto alba) to an anticoagulant rodenticide, flocoumafen, by analysis of residues in regurgitated pellets following consumption of flocoumafen-contaminated mice. Mice were fed on a diet containing [14C]flocoumafen, equivalent to 12 mg kg?1, and killed 24 h later. A single [14C]flocoumafen-contaminated mouse was fed to each of four captive barn owls, equivalent to 0·11-0·23 mg kg?1 per bird, followed on seven successive days by control diet (i.e. undosed mice). The [14C]flocoumafen dose was eliminated by the owls over the eight-day period in pellets (44%, range 35–55%) and faeces (18%, range 11–21%), with the highest residues being observed in samples from the first 24-h period. Further detailed analysis of the pellets confirmed that flocoumafen residues in the first-day pellets represented 15% (range 8–26%) of the original flocoumafen residues ingested by the barn owls. Calculations based on these data and typical flocoumafen residues in live captured rodents (following baiting) confirm that pellet residue analysis is a sensitive and appropriate method for the non-invasive monitoring of exposure of barn owls to flocoumafen. There were no symptoms of anticoagulant poisoning in any of the birds; two of the birds were successfully paired the next season and produced fledgelings. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Pyoluteorin (Plt) is a polyketide metabolite produced by fluorescent Pseudomonas. It controls a wide range of pests, including bacteria, epiphytes and weeds. It could become widely used as a new biological pesticide. However, ignorance of the stability of Plt is an obstacle to its use. This work studied the stability of Plt and its degradation under different conditions, including temperature, pH and UV–visible light irradiation. RESULTS: Degradation of Plt followed first‐order reaction kinetics. The degradation rate increased with increased temperature. The derived activation energy was 11.06 J mol?1 K?1. Plt was relatively stable in neutral solutions, in contrast to acid and alkaline solutions. Visible irradiation had no obvious effect on Plt stability, while UV irradiation greatly decreased its half‐life to 3–4 days, in contrast to its half‐life of 25 days in the dark. CONCLUSION: Plt is relatively stable in pure water solutions and at room temperature, with a half‐life of more than 20 days. However, UV irradiation and acidic or alkaline solutions will enhance its degradation, reducing its half‐life by a factor of 0.1–0.3. Before Plt is widely used as a pesticide, it might be necessary to modify the structure of Plt to make it more stable. Copyright © 2009 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Minimising the concentration of active ingredient in rodenticide bait is desirable economically and for the protection of the agroecosystem. This study aimed to identify a zinc phosphide concentration that balances palatability and efficacy for common vole (Microtus arvalis Pall.) management and to compare the attractiveness of two bait carriers. RESULTS: Bait uptake of voles was reduced by 87–98% compared with plain bait when bait contained 0.4–3.2% zinc phosphide. There was an almost 50% decrease in the uptake of zinc phosphide when the zinc phosphide concentration of bait was doubled. Red dye used in commercially available bait decreased bait consumption by 10%. Daily consumption of zinc phosphide bait on days 2 to 5 was half the consumption on the first day of exposure. In bait choice tests, wheat kernels were preferred initially, but within 12 h similar amounts of wheat‐based pellets and wheat kernels were eaten. CONCLUSIONS: According to the results from the laboratory trial, a zinc phosphide concentration of 2.1% seemed to balance uptake/efficacy best and may be most appropriate for the management of common vole populations. This concentration is substantially lower than the concentration used in many registered products. A reduced concentration of active ingredient and the use of pellet bait instead of wheat which is highly attractive for birds may have advantages for agroecosystem health when applying zinc phosphide for rodent control. © Jens Jacob, Mechthild Budde and Angela Leukers, employees of the Federal Research Centre for Cultivated Plants, Germany.

The metabolism of benodanil (2-iodobenzanilide) was studied in rats following an oral dose of 150 mg benodanil kg?1 body weight. The major 24-h urinary metabolite was found to be the 4′-hydroxy derivative, both free (≈ 5%) and as the glucuronide (≈ 4%) and sulphate (≈ 4%) conjugates. Over a 6-day period, about 16% of the administered dose was excreted in the urine and about 80% in the faeces. After dosing with [14C]- benodanil, blood radioactivity levels were highest 30 min after dosing, with small broader peaks at 4 and 7 h, while biliary activity levels rose slowly to a maximum about 10–12 h after the dose, some 16% being excreted in 24 h as the glucuronide conjugate of the 4′-hydroxy derivative. 相似文献

Characteristics of alginate pellets formulated with Trichoderma and Gliocladium and their effect on the proliferation of the fungi in soil 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Pelletized formulations of wheat bran or kaolin clay in an alginate gel containing conidia, chlamydospores, or fermentor biomass (FB) of several isolates of the biocontrol fungi Trichoderma spp. and Gliocladium virens were prepared. The ability of fungal propagules within the pellets to proliferate in soil was determined. Higher population densities were obtained when alginate pellets added to soil contained chlamydospores rather than condia, and bran rather than kaolin as the bulking agent. The active ingredient in pellets prepared from FB was approximately 5% biomass by weight and contained many chlamydospores. Colony-forming units (cfu) ranged from 106 'to 1010 /g of soil after soil amendment with FB pellets of 12 Trichoderma and G. virens isolates. Population densities were high during the first 3 weeks of incubation and declined only gradually during 9 weeks. Propagules in FB pellets were more viable at 5° than at 25°C. Viability at 25°C remained high (> 70%) after 1 week, but declined to less than 10% after 24 weeks. Despite reduction in propagule viability in stored pellets, numbers of cfu formed after adding these pellets to soil were comparable with those formed from freshly prepared pellets. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Upon emergence from their pupal cells, bollworm, Helicoverpa zea (Boddie), adults actively seek and feed on plant exudates before they disperse and reproduce on suitable host plants. This nocturnal behavior of the bollworm may be exploited as a pest management strategy for suppression of the insect by using an attractant/stimulant mixed with an insecticide to induce feeding to cause adult mortality or reproductive reduction/inhibition. This study aimed to determine in the laboratory whether or not spinosad when mixed with sucrose solution as a feeding stimulant and ingested by bollworm could influence mortality and reproduction of the insect. RESULTS: Sublethal concentrations of spinosad fed to laboratory‐reared females confined with males significantly reduced percentage hatch of eggs at 0.1 mg L?1, and it was reduced to near zero at 2.5 mg L?1 when compared with females fed 2.5 M sucrose solutions only. The lethal concentration (LC99) for males captured from the field in sex‐pheromone‐baited traps was 73 mg L?1 for 24 h response. Proboscis extension response was not inhibited significantly even at 10 g L?1. In spite of a 137‐fold increase in lethal dose concentration, spinosad did not inhibit feeding. CONCLUSION: A detailed study of laboratory‐reared and field‐collected bollworm adults relative to mortality and reproduction after ingestion of spinosad indicates that spinosad would be useful in an attract‐and‐kill strategy to control the insect when mixed with a feeding attractant/stimulant. Field validation of the data is warranted. Published 2010 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

A few years ago, a new invasive weed was found in Spanish maize fields grazed by sheep after harvest and identified as a subform of teosinte (Zea mays ssp. mexicana ad int). If teosinte seeds survive digestion, then the weed could spread via sheep manure. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of this process on the emergence and viability of teosinte seeds. In an in sacco study, seeds were introduced into the rumen of fistulised wethers and extracted after 24, 48, 72 and 96 h. Then, seed emergence was recorded and the viability of non‐germinated seeds was analysed. In an ‘intake and in vivo’ study, lambs were kept in metabolic cages and fed for 6 days with 200 g teosinte seeds and ears. The daily faecal production was individually collected, seeds were recovered and viability was tested (15 days). In the in sacco trials, a decrease in teosinte viability was observed after remaining for 48 h or more in the rumen. In the ‘intake and in vivo’ trial, between 0.1% and 3% of the ingested seeds that were excreted were viable. Uncoated seeds that lost their exocarp during the mastication and digestion processes were less viable (18%) than intact excreted seeds (74%). The last viable and intact seeds appeared 4 and 6 days after intake respectively. In areas with teosinte infestation, sheep grazing on maize stubble should be avoided and, in case of ingestion, sheep should be kept isolated for 4–6 days to avoid the spread of this invasive weed. 相似文献

Chemical analysis of rodenticide residues in regurgitated owl pellets has been shown to be a sensitive, non-invasive method for monitoring the potential exposure of Barn Owls to second-generation rodenticides in their prey. The method, originally developed for flocoumafen, has been extended to two other rodenticides. brodifacoum and difenacoum. The method was validated as part of a toxicity study in which Barn Owls were separately fed 40–130 μg day ?1 of brodifacoum, difenacoum and flocoumafen in mice over 15 days. Each day an average of 25% of the consumed rodenticide was regurgitated in the pellets. 相似文献

The effects of the blood protozoan, Trypanosoma brucei, was assessed on the homologous immunity to Schistosoma mansoni infection and the distribution of S. mansoni eggs in the tissues and faeces of dually infected mice. The trypanosome infection reduced the homologous protection induced by a primary S. mansoni infection against a challenge infection and the faecal excretion of eggs during the primary schistosome infection. The findings are discussed in relation to the immunosuppressive action of Trypanosoma infection. 相似文献

[14C]Flamprop-methyl administered orally to rats (3-4 mg kg?1 body weight) was excreted mostly via the faeces (78.7 and 61.6% in males and females, respectively). Elimination was rapid and 90% of the dose of 14C was excreted in faeces and urine 0-48 h after dosing. The distribution of 14C between faeces and urine was different in males and females. No expired [14C]carbon dioxide was detected and less than 2% of the dose remained in the animals 4 days after dosing. The predominant metabolic pathway was hydrolysis of the ester bond to afford the carboxylic acid which was excreted unchanged and as its glucuronide conjugate. Aromatic hydroxylation occurred at the para- and meta-positions of the N-benzoyl ring. N-(3)-Chloro- 4-fluorophenyl-N-(3,4-dihydroxybenzoyl)-DL -alaninate was also formed. This hydroxylated form of flamprop-methyl was partially O-methylated at the 3-hydroxy group. Flamprop-methyl was also metabolised and eliminated rapidly by dogs, mice and rabbits. The last of these three species afforded very little aromatic hydroxylation and also differed from the others in that the metabolites were eliminated mostly in the urine. Aromatic hydroxylation lay in the order: male rat = female rat > dog= mouse>rabbit (female). 相似文献

Xanthomonas fragariae is the causative agent of angular leaf spot disease of strawberry. Greenhouse experiments were conducted using a X. fragariae isolate tagged with a green fluorescent protein (GFP) for detailed population dynamic studies in and on leaves after spray‐inoculation. The GFP‐tagged bacteria were monitored with dilution plating of leaf washings and leaf extracts, and analysis of intact leaves using a non‐invasive monitoring system called PathoScreen, based on laser radiation of fluorescent cells in plant tissues and signal recording with a sensitive camera. PathoScreen was also used to monitor bacteria grown on an agar medium after leaf printing. During the first 3 days after inoculation, bacterial populations washed off leaves rapidly decreased by at least a factor of 1000, after which populations remained stable until 14 days post‐inoculation (dpi), when symptoms first started to appear. Thereafter, populations increased to a level of 1012 colony‐forming units (CFU) g?1 of leaf material or higher. Similarly, densities in leaf extracts were low during the first 3 days after inoculation, at a level of 100–1000 CFU g?1 of leaf tissue. Gradually populations increased to a level of 109–1012 CFU g?1 at 28 dpi. Higher densities of epiphytic populations were found on the abaxial side than on the adaxial leaf side during the first 2 weeks after inoculation. After spray‐inoculation of leaves, bacterial populations released from infected plants remained low until symptoms appeared, after which plants became highly infectious, in particular under high humidity. 相似文献

A French strain of the tobacco aphid Myzus nicotianae Blackman (Homoptera: Aphididae), strain FR, showed high tolerance to imidacloprid in short-term (48-h) oral ingestion bioassays when compared to a susceptible reference strain of Myzus persicae, strain NS. The resulting tolerance factors were >50. Measures of the contact activity of imidacloprid by the FAO dip method failed to detect these high factors of tolerance. The tolerance factor was in general <10 when using the dip method. The resulting difference between tolerance factors could be attributed to a behavioural component to fitness between strain FR and strain NS as further experiments revealed. When measuring the effect of systemically applied imidacloprid on honeydew excretion, a 50% reduction occurred in both strain FR and strain NS at nearly the same concentration of imidacloprid, providing evidence for a similar antifeedant response in both strains. Starvation experiments revealed that the French strain was able to survive approximately 24 h longer than a reference laboratory strain of M. persicae. This result coincided with the fact that systemically applied imidacloprid showed the same aphicidal potential against strain FR after three days as against strain NS after two days, i.e. 24 h later. After rearing in the laboratory for six months the French strain of M. nicotianae lost its hardiness and also its apparent ability to tolerate imidacloprid. However, strain FR was a heterogeneous field strain and it is possible that a susceptible variant out-reproduced a more hardy variant. These findings indicate that the type of bioassay is very important when assessing aphid populations for resistance against the chloronicotinyl insecticide imidacloprid, because of its distinct mode of action. It is obvious that an aphid dip test, i.e. FAO dip test, produces more reliable results than the different kinds of short-term oral ingestion bioassays, because of the reversible behavioural changes induced by imidacloprid after oral uptake. Thus a short-term oral ingestion bioassay (≤48 h) is not recommended for precise detection of possible resistance of Myzus sp. to imidacloprid, although this mode of uptake for imidacloprid might be sometimes more realistic in terms of field behaviour. The ideal test to generate most accurate data would be a slightly longer (72-h) feeding bioassay, perhaps used in conjunction with a dip test. The possible influence of the results on resistance monitoring is discussed. © 1997 SCI. 相似文献

The use of hydrogenated rapeseed oil as a carrier for conidia of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (Bals) Vuill was investigated as part of a research programme on the control of the larger grain borer, Prostephanus truncatus (Horn). Melting the oil, which is solid at temperatures below 32 °C, allows the incorporation of materials such as aggregation pheromones and conidia; sudden cooling produces solid fat pellets. In attraction tests conducted with pellets containing P truncatus aggregation pheromone, significantly higher numbers of beetles were attracted to pellets containing pheromone at a concentration of 4 ml litre−1 compared to control pellets for at least four weeks when held in Petri dishes in the laboratory and for at least six weeks when pellets held in insect traps were exposed to outside conditions. The attraction was retained over a period of storage in glass bottles; pellets stored in the freezer or incubator (at −10 °C or 27 °C) attracted beetles according to the pheromone level for the duration of the work (14 and 13 months respectively). When pheromones and conidia were incorporated into the same pellets they could be stored in a freezer or refrigerator retaining over 80% viability after 51 weeks; those stored in an incubator at 27 °C showed significantly lower germination at 20.7–27.2% after the same time. There was an indication that the pheromone caused a slight reduction in the viability of conidia, although this may have been just a slight delay in the speed of germination. Rapid dose transfer from pellets with conidia with and without the addition of pheromone was demonstrated. Insects were exposed to pellets for 24 hours and 96–100% mortality was observed in treatments containing conidia within six days of exposure. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

BACKGROUND: In the natural environment, photodegradation is one of the most common degradative processes of pesticides. In order to reduce the photodegradation of pesticides, and so increase their killing activity against target pests, chitosan‐coated beeswax solid lipid nanoparticles (CH‐BSLNs) were prepared by a combination of hot homogenization and sonication, with deltamethrin as an active ingredient. RESULTS: Under optimal conditions, the highest encapsulation efficiency (95%) and a high payload of deltamethrin (approximately 12.5%) were achieved. In direct photolysis, in the case of CH‐BSLNs after UV irradiation for 24 h, 37.3% of deltamethrin remained, as opposed to only 14.6% of the free‐form deltamethrin. In addition, in indirect photolysis, in the case of CH‐BSLNs after UV irradiation for 2 h in 2% acetone solution, approximately 74.5% of deltamethrin remained, as opposed to only 37.6% of the free‐form deltamethrin. CONCLUSION: CH‐BSLNs showed good protection for deltamethrin against photodegradation. This novel nanocarrier may be useful in crop protection as an economical strategy to enhance the effect of pesticides in the field and protect the environment as well.

Pyribenzoxim, benzophenone O‐[2,6‐bis(4,6‐dimethoxypyrimidin‐2‐yloxy)benzoyl]oxime, is a new post‐emergence herbicide providing broad‐spectrum weed control in rice fields. [14C]Pyribenzoxim was used to study the pharmacokinetics of the compound after oral administration of a dose of 1000 mg kg?1 to male Sprague–Dawley rats. The material balance ranged from 97.3 to 99.7% of the administered dose and urinary and fecal recovery accounted for 97.1%, with the majority of radioactivity recovered in feces (88.6%) by 168 h after treatment. Elimination as volatile products or as carbon dioxide was negligible. The following values were obtained for the compound in the blood: AUC0–168h, 28400 µg equiv h g?1; Tmax, 12 h; Cmax, 372 µg equiv g?1; half‐life, 53 h. Radioactivity in tissue decreased from 96.1% of applied radiocarbon at 6 h to 0.4% at 168 h and the highest concentration of radioactivity among the tissues was observed in liver while the lowest residues were found in brain. The elimination half‐lives of radioactivity from tissues was in the range of 7 to 77 h and Tmax values of 12, 24 and 12 h were observed for blood, liver and kidney, respectively. Except for that in the digestive tract, the tissue‐to‐blood ratio (TBR) was highest in the liver. © 2001 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

Effect of different organic amendments on lettuce fusarium wilt and on selected soilborne microorganisms

下载免费PDF全文 This study evaluated the effect of different organic amendments on lettuce fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae in pots under controlled conditions. Their effects on the density of the pathogen, on the total fungi and on fluorescent Pseudomonas spp. were also evaluated after two subsequent lettuce crops. A significant reduction in the severity of the symptoms of F. oxysporum f. sp. lactucae was found after the use of Brassica carinata pellets (52–79% reduction) and compost (49–67% reduction), while Brassica green manure and cattle and chicken manure only provided partial control of fusarium wilt. However, variations in effectiveness were observed for the same treatment in repeated trials. In general, an increase was observed in Pseudomonas and a decrease in fungal populations in the growing medium, which was obtained by mixing a blonde sphagnum peat and a sandy loam soil with B. carinata pellets and compost after two consecutive cropping cycles. Prolonging the Brassica and compost treatments from 30 to 60 days did not significantly affect disease severity, plant growth or the microbial population of the total fungi or Pseudomonas. The largest lettuce biomass was obtained in the non‐inoculated growing medium amended with brassica flour, chicken manure, B. carinata pellets and compost, as a consequence of fertilization. The treatment with B. juncea green manure, B. carinata (pellets and flour) and compost applied 30 days before planting led to promising results and merits further investigation for use under field conditions. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Horseweed has been the most invasive glyphosate‐resistant (GR) weed, spreading to 16 states in the United States and found on five continents. The authors have previously reported that GR horseweed employs rapid vacuolar sequestration of glyphosate, presumably via a tonoplast transporter, substantively to reduce cytosolic glyphosate concentrations. 1 It was hypothesized that glyphosate sequestration was the herbicide resistance mechanism. If resistance is indeed endowed by glyphosate sequestration, suppression of sequestration offers the potential for controlling GR horseweed at normal herbicide field‐use rates. RESULTS: Low‐temperature 31P NMR experiments performed in vivo with GR cold‐acclimated horseweed showed markedly suppressed vacuolar accumulation of glyphosate even 3 days after glyphosate treatment. [In stark contrast, 85% of the visible glyphosate was sequestered 24 h after spraying warm‐acclimated GR horseweed.] Cold‐acclimated GR horseweed treated at normal use rates and maintained at low temperature succumbed to the lethal effects of glyphosate over a 40 day period. Treatment of GR horseweed in the field when temperatures were cooler showed the predicted positive herbicidal response. CONCLUSIONS: Low temperature markedly diminishes vacuolar sequestration of glyphosate in the GR horseweed biotype, yielding a herbicide response equivalent to that of the sensitive biotype. This supports the recent hypothesis 1 that glyphosate sequestration is the resistance mechanism employed by GR horseweed. Copyright © 2011 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Straight‐chain, saturated fatty acids (particularly C8, C9 and C10) have some known behavioral effects on insects such as mosquitoes, and were tested in combination for potential repellency/antifeedant activity in bioassays against three significant muscoid flies of medical/veterinary importance: houseflies, horn flies and stable flies. RESULTS: Mixtures of C8, C9 and C10 (1:1:1; 15% total actives in formulation) were highly repellent to houseflies and horn flies at or below 1 mg formulation cm?2. Repellency time varied from < 1 day for houseflies to usually at least 3 days for horn flies. Individual longer‐chain‐length fatty acids were tested, and C11 repelled houseflies for up to 5–8 days, while C12 lasted 2 days. Minimum statistically significant repellency levels of the C8, C9 and C10 mixture (3 h after application) against horn flies were 0.06–0.12 mg cm?2. A liquid formulation of the 15% C8, C9 and C10 mixture in a silicone oil carrier (at 2.8 mg AI cm?2) was highly repellent against hungry stable flies in a blood‐feeding membrane bioassay for at least 8 h. CONCLUSION: The low toxicity and reasonable activity and persistence of these carboxylic acids make them good candidates for development as protective materials against pest flies in livestock settings.

A single oral dose of 0.14 mg kg?1 of [14C] flocoumafen to rat, which gave a transient, non-lethal, effect, was rapidly absorbed, radioactivity appearing in the blood maximally at 4 h and falling to half maximum value by 8 h. The maximum effect on prothrombin time was at 24 h and the value returned to normal by 48 h. Elimination of radioactivity was very slow, with less than 0.5% of the dose in the urine up to 7 days after dosing, and 23-26% in the faeces (more than half of which appeared in the first 24 h). Most of the administered radioactivity (74-76%) was retained 7 days after dosing. Approximately half of the dose was in the liver; it was eliminated with a halflife of 220 days. At 48 h after dosing, most of the hepatic radioactivity comprised unchanged flocoumafen. Treatments of flocoumafen-dosed rats with warfarin or with cytochrome P450-inducing doses of phenobarbitone were without effect on the hepatic residue of flocoumafen. 相似文献
