  Gerbera is attacked by a large number of pests, one of the most important of which is greenhouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum Westwood). Currently, it is controlled by chemical and large amounts of money are used to import insecticides to control this pest annually. In current research, the effect of Palizin and Imidacloprid in T. vaporariorum control in commercial gerbera greenhouses was compared. The experiment was performed in a commercial greenhouse in Pakdasht, Tehran. The same size and none flower gerbera pots were selected for further analysis. Before and after the experiment, the number of nymphs and adults were estimated. Selected factors were included: the pesticide in two levels, pesticide dose in three levels (0.5, 1 and 1.5), application time in three levels (hours 8, 12 and 16) and replications in a month in three levels (2, 4 and 6). Data was analyzed using Design Expert 10 software with RSM (Response Surface Method) method. Based on the result, the mortality percentage of whitefly adults during the use of Confidor is significantly higher than Palizin. Also the only significant factor was the pesticide type, and other factors will not make any significant changes in the response. Manuscript profile

  2 - Lethal Concentration (LC50 96h) of the Insecticide Confidor (Imidacloprid) on the Juveniles of the Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)

  Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) in Iran, lives in the Caspian Sea basin and Hamoon Lake in Sistan-Baluchistan Province. Propagation and breeding of these fish are economically justified with the value of the fisheries. Today, this fish is used for avoiding severe growing plants in water channels or natural ponds and their reproduction and breeding it has become commonplace. In this study, the lethal concentration (LC5096h) of the insecticide confidor (Imidacloprid) was estimated for the juveniles of the grass carp (C. idella). For 96 h, 150 young grass carps (3-4gr) in 5 groups (1 control and 4 replicates) were treated with the insecticide confidor (Imidacloprid) in concentrations 0, 125, 250, 500 and 1000 mg/l and the lethal concentration (LC5096h) and the maximum allowable concentration (M.A.C. value) were estimated. The lethal concentration (LC5096h) of the insecticide confidor was 300 mg/l and the maximum allowable concentration (M.A.C. value) was 30 mg/l. The toxicity of the insecticide confidor (Imidacloprid) was “virtually non-toxic” for the juveniles of the grass carp. Manuscript profile
