November
26, 2002 - European
Commission: Flucycloxuron is one of 320 pesticides to be withdrawn
in July 2003. Some
320 substances used in plant protection products (PPPs) - including
insecticides, fungicides and herbicides - are to be withdrawn
from the market by 25 July 2003 as part of the European Commission's
new approach to the evaluation of active substances in plant
protection products. This aims to improve safeguards to ensure
that all such products in use are safe for the environment and
human health. Users, wholesalers and retailers of plant protection
products will need to be aware of whether the products they
use or sell are likely to be withdrawn, so as to prevent them
being left with stocks of unusable material. Those concerned
should contact their national authority to check the authorisation
status for any particular product. The Regulation (n¡ 2076/2002
of 20 November 2002), with the list of the 320 substances, has
now been published in the Offical Journal. Ref: MIDDAY EXPRESS.

Hazards
and uptake of chitin synthesis inhibitors in bumblebees
Bombus terrestris.

This
research project examined the potential hazards of a major
class of insect growth regulators (IGRs) to survival, reproduction
and larval growth in bumblebees Bombus terrestris L. Eight
chitin synthesis inhibitors (CSIs) were tested: buprofezin,
cyromazine, diflubenzuron, flucycloxuron,
flufenoxuron, lufenuron, novaluron
and teflubenzuron.
These different IGRs, which are important in the control
of pest insects in greenhouses, were applied via three different
routes of exposure under laboratory conditions: dermal contact,
and orally via the drinking of sugar/water and via pollen.
The compounds were tested at their respective maximum field
recommended concentrations (MFRC) and also in dose-response
assays to calculate LC(50) values. In general, none of the
CSIs showed acute worker toxicity.
However, there was a dramatic reduction in brood production,
especially after oral treatment with pollen and sugar/water.
Conspicuously, egg fertility was reduced
in all treatments with diflubenzuron and teflubenzuron.
In addition to egg mortality, the worker bumblebees removed
larvae from the treated nest, and in most cases these individuals
were dead first-second instars. Under a binocular microscope,
such larvae showed an abnormally formed cuticle leading
to mechanical weakness and death. In another series
of experiments using (14)C-diflubenzuron and (14)C-flufenoxuron,
cuticular penetration in workers was studied for a better
understanding of the differences in toxicity. With (14)C-diflubenzuron,
transovarial transport and accumulation in the deposited
eggs supported the strong reproductive effects. Overall,
the present results suggest that CSIs should be applied
with caution in combination with bumblebees. The
compatibility of each compound to be used in combination
with B. terrestris is discussed in relation to calculated
LC(50) values, routes of uptake and effects.

Behavior

Abstract:
BIOSIS COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. The degradation and leaching
pattern of benzoylurea insecticide teflubenzuron and flucycloxuron
in soil environment and their effect on urease activity
were investigated. The half-life of teflubenzuron was 39.1
days and 20.9 days in Chilgok and Ansim soil of nonsterilized
condition, respectively, and that of flucycloxuron was 102.3
days and 50.1 days. Teflubenzuron and flucycloxuron were
degraded more rapidly in Ansim soil with rich organic matter
than Chilgok soil, and were degraded very slowly under sterilized
condition. Their degradation seemed to be mainly mediated
by microorganisms in soil. Teflubenzuron was degraded 63.2
days and 29.2 days faster than flucycloxuron under nonsterilized
condition of Chilgok and Ansim soil. The inhibition of urease
by the pesticides in two kinds of soil was strongly affected
(37.6 42.4%) in the early stage of their treatment but hardly
affected or increased a little after 120 days. The teflubenzuron
and flucycloxuron remained in the

Abstract:
BIOSIS COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. Flucycloxuron, a novel benzoylphenylurea
(BPU) derivative, exhibited insecticidal activity when injected
into newly ecdysed pupae of Tenebrio molitor. Mortality
occurs because of defective adult ecdysis. Treatment caused
a reduction in both cuticle thickness and incorporation
of 14C-labelled precursor into chitin, although it had no
significant effect on the protein synthesis. The potencies
of other BPU compounds as inhibitors of chitin biosynthesis
have been examined and results showed that diflubenzuron
was less effective than either flucycloxuron or triflumuron.
