The influence of spray droplet characteristics on the efficacy of permethrin against the diamondback moth Plutella xylostella: The effect of drop size and concentration on the potency of ulv- and ec-based residual deposits

The effect of droplet diameter (36-274 μm) and concentration (10-400 g litre−1) of permethrin on the knockdown and mortality of 2nd-instar Plutella xylostella larvae was investigated. Larvae were placed on brussels sprout leaf discs treated with residual deposits of permethrin applied as ULV or emul...
