Persistence and risk assessment of spirotetramat and imidacloprid in chilli fruits were studied following three applications of a mixture formulation of spirotetramat (12%) and imidacloprid (12%) at 1000 and 2000 mL ha(-1). Residues of spirotetramat and imidacloprid in chilli were estimated by high-performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC). Residues of spirotetramat and imidacloprid dissipated to more than 65% after 3 days at both the dosages. Residues of spirotetramat on chilli fruits were found to be below its limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.03 mg kg(-1) after 5 and 7 days for recommended and double the recommended dosages, respectively. Similarly, imidacloprid residues were found to be below its LOQ of 0.01 mg kg(-1) at 7 and 10 days, respectively. Half-life periods for spirotetramat were found to be 1.91 and 1.30 days, whereas, for imidacloprid, these values were observed to be 1.41 and 1.65 days at recommended and double the recommended dosages, respectively. Red chilli samples collected after 20 days of the last application did not show the presence of spirotetramat and imidacloprid at their respective determination limit. As the theoretical maximum residue contributions on chilli fruits are found to be less than the maximum permissible intake values on initial deposits, a waiting period of 1 day may follow to reduce risk before consumption at the recommended dose.

Article Synopsis
- Compatibility studies of insecticides often ignore long-term effects on natural enemies like parasites, focusing mostly on short-term lethal impacts.
- In a study of different insecticides on the pupae of the parasitoid Diaeretiella rapae, imidacloprid showed significant harm, reducing adult emergence, while spirotetramat and its mixtures only affected the parasitoid at higher doses.
- The findings suggest that imidacloprid is the most toxic to D. rapae, indicating that its use in pest management should be avoided to protect this potential biological control agent.

In 2020, the invasive (Karny) was first detected in Florida, United States. In response to the implemented regulatory restrictions, we conducted laboratory experiments under containment conditions. Thrips larvae and adults were exposed to 32 products (conventional and biorational insecticides) either directly or indirectly.

Clarifying the molecular mechanisms of cotton aphid resistance to various insecticides is crucial for the long-term safe application of insecticides in chemical control. ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters mediate the membrane transport of various substrates (including exogenous substances). Experiments confirmed that ABCB5, ABCF2, and MRP12 contributed to high levels of resistance to spirotetramat, cyantraniliprole, thiamethoxam or imidacloprid.

Pakistan is the fourth largest yarn producer in the world heavily that relies on cotton crop which receives a substantial 62% of all pesticide applications. The present study was conducted to quantify the levels of pesticides such as bifenthrin, spirotetramat, pyriproxyfen, imidacloprid, and diafenthiuron in soil and plants residue at selected cotton fields of Multan District, Pakistan. In addition to pesticides, the assessment of heavy metal concentration was also conducted in order to determine the overall risks that these compounds to both plants and human population.
