摘要: Simple Summary The organosilicone is commonly used as surfactant ingredient in agriculture. Some pilot studies showed pesticidal activities of some organosilicone surfactants. This study examined the toxicity of an organosilicone, Silwet 408, to the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae and explored the field usage of this chemical in pest control. We tested this chemical on eggs, nymphs, and adults of T. urticae. We applied a two-sprays strategy to enhance the field control efficacy based on the high toxicity of Silwet 408 to nymphs and adults and the lack of toxicity to eggs of T. urticae. However, their phytotoxicity should be taken under consideration. Our study improved our understand of the toxicity and safety of organosilicone surfactants. The results provide a basis for the usage of this chemical in mite control. Organosilicone molecules represent important components of surfactants added to pesticides to improve pest control efficiency, but these molecules also have pesticidal properties in their own right. Here, we examined toxicity and control efficacy of Silwet 408, a trisiloxane ethoxylate-based surfactant, to the two-spotted spider mite (TSSM), Tetranychus urticae and its crop hosts. Silwet 408 was toxic to nymphs and adults of TSSM but did not affect eggs. Field trials showed that the control efficacy of 1000 mg/L Silwet 408 aqueous solution reached 96% one day after spraying but declined to 54% 14 days after spraying, comparable to 100 mg/L cyetpyrafen, a novel acaricide. A second spraying of 1000 mg/L Silwet 408 maintained control efficacy at 97% when measured 14 days after spraying. However, Silwet 408 was phytotoxic to eggplant, kidney bean, cucumber, and strawberry plants, although phytotoxicity to strawberry plants was relatively low and declined further seven days after application. Our study showed that while the organosilicone surfactant Silwet 408 could be used to control the TSSM, its phytotoxicity to crops should be considered.
