- Abstract
This article discusses the dissipation and residuals of the biological pesticide, spinosad, on eggplants in China. According to the authors, spinosad developed by Dow Agrosciences company, is chemically formulated from two primary active compounds, spinosyn A and spinosyn D, which were isolated from soil and derived from the bacterium Saccharopolyspora spinosa. Spinosad could be a valuable reduced-risk alternative to organophosphorus pesticides used against thrips in integrated pest management. The authors concluded that spinosad had a very short half-life and lower toxicity to non-target species and therefore could be used safely in eggplant fields.
