Background: Chlorantraniliprole is a novel anthranilic diamide insecticide, efficacious for control of lepidopteran insect pests, as well as some species in the orders Coleoptera, Diptera and Hemiptera. In this study, the speed of action of chlorantraniliprole was compared with that of seven commercial insecticides by means of ingestion bioassays against larvae of Plutella xylostella L., Trichoplusia ni (Hübner), Spodoptera exigua (Hübner) and Helicoverpa zea (Boddie).
Results: Based on feeding cessation and reduction in feeding damage, chlorantraniliprole is among the fastest-acting insecticides available for control of lepidopteran pests, comparable in speed of action with methomyl, lambda-cyhalothrin and esfenvalerate, and faster than emamectin benzoate, indoxacarb, methoxyfenozide and metaflumizone.
Conclusion: The speed of action of chlorantraniliprole against target pest species, based on time for feeding cessation and reduction in feeding damage, is significantly greater than that of most recently developed insecticides and comparable only with the speed of action of the fast-acting carbamates and pyrethroids. In addition, chlorantraniliprole has a favorable toxicological and ecotoxicological profile. It belongs to a new chemical class with a novel mode of action and is effective against insect populations that have developed resistance to other insecticide groups, thus representing an attractive new tool for integrated pest management programs.

In order to investigate the mechanism of mechanical performance enhancement and the curing mechanisms of acrylate emulsion (AE) in cement and magnesium slag (MS) composite-stabilized soil (AE-C-M), this study has conducted a comprehensive analysis of the compressive strength and microstructural characteristics of AE-C-M stabilized soil. The results show that the addition of AE significantly improves the compressive strength of the stabilized soil. When the AE content is 0.

However, leveraging these probes for neuroscience requires scalable experimental frameworks. Here, we devised a high-throughput approach to efficiently collect and analyze hundreds of optical recordings of glutaamate release activity at presynaptic boutons in cultured rat hippocampal neurons.

Grouping of chemicals has been proposed as a strategy to speed up the screening and identification of potential substances of concern among the broad chemical universe under REACH. Such grouping is usually based on shared structural features and should only be used for the prioritization objectives. However, additional considerations (as well as structural similarity) are needed, e.

The traditional understanding of brain function has predominantly focused on chemical and electrical processes. However, new research in fruit fly (Drosophila) binocular vision reveals ultrafast photomechanical photoreceptor movements significantly enhance information processing, thereby impacting a fly's perception of its environment and behaviour. The coding advantages resulting from these mechanical processes suggest that similar physical motion-based coding strategies may affect neural communication ubiquitously.

Research on the evolutionary behavior of the particle breakage processes in coarse-grained soil under the action of train load is of practical significance for subgrade construction and maintenance. However, existing studies have not addressed the prediction of particle size distribution evolution. In this paper, the MTS loading system is used to simulate the dynamic train load effect on coarse-grained soil fillers.
