Toxicology | Emamectin benzoate shows low toxicity to mammals (the acute oral LD₅₀ for rats > 2000 mg/kg, and the dermal LD₅₀ > 2000 mg/kg), high toxicity to aquatic organisms (the LC₅₀ for carps is 0.0021 mg/L, and the EC₅₀ for Daphnia is 0.0013 mg/L), low toxicity to birds (the acute oral LD₅₀ for quails > 2000 mg/kg), and high toxicity to bees (the contact LD₅₀ is 0.0042 mg per bee). |
Application | As a new - type antibiotic - based biogenic insecticide, emamectin benzoate has advantages such as broad - spectrum, high - efficiency, low - toxicity, and low - residue, and has a good insecticidal effect on Lepidoptera pests. The LC90 values of emamectin benzoate for some Lepidoptera insects range from 0.002 to 0.89 mg/L. Compared with its lead compound, avermectin, emamectin benzoate has a lower toxicity. Its toxicity to rats is only one - sixth of that of avermectin. It is safe for humans, livestock, etc. under conventional dosages and is easily degradable. At present, emamectin benzoate/avermectin is often used to control vegetable pests, such as Plutella xylostella, Spodoptera exigua, Spodoptera litura, etc. Due to its good control effect, it has been widely used in the control of cruciferous vegetable pests, effectively controlling the occurrence scale of Lepidoptera pest populations and delaying the evolution speed of their resistance to traditional insecticides. |
