Laboratory Bioassays Testing Insect Growth Regulators on BMSB
Tender ID: 442355
Tender Details
Tender Description
Laboratory bioassays to be conducted for buprofezin, novaluron and triflumuron to determine efficacy against Brown Marmorated Stink Bug.
The bioassays will need to test application at a range of rates, including the rates already approved for on-label use in New Zealand. Efficacy will need to be measured for long enough to know whether the IGR has quantifiable impacts on reproduction, egg-hatch, or moulting of immature life stages.
