[Audio] Recent studies have indicated that the combination of emamectin benzoate 4.8% and acetamiprid 6.4%, with the addition of an approved silicone-based adjuvant, has the highest efficacy in controlling Diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) and aphids (Brevicoryne brassicae Linnaeus) on cabbage in field conditions. This combination is more effective than the combination of emamectin benzoate 4.8% and acetamiprid 6.4% alone, and its successful application can help reduce pest damage to cabbage production, potentially saving up to billions of dollars in control expenses and yield losses..

[Audio] We examined the effect of a silicone-based adjuvant on the efficacy of emamectin benzoate 4.8% + acetamiprid 6.4% in controlling cabbage pests. Results indicated that the addition of the adjuvant increased the effectiveness of the pesticide by up to 21%. These findings suggest that the use of adjuvants can enhance the effectiveness of pesticides in controlling pests..

[Audio] Our fourth slide discusses the reduced effectiveness of pesticides and the high dosages needed to compensate for this shortcoming in waxy crops. Research was conducted on the use of a silicone-based adjuvant to enhance the effectiveness of emamectin benzoate 4.8% + acetamiprid 6.4% in controlling pests on cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.). Results showed that the use of this adjuvant increased effectiveness by 30%, resulting in better control of the pests, and higher yields for cabbage growers..

[Audio] This study investigated the efficacy of using a silicone-based adjuvant in combination with a blend of emamectin benzoate 4.8% and acetamiprid 6.4% for controlling pests on cabbage. Previous studies mainly focused on evaluating the effect of silicone-based products when used in combination with other groups of insecticides, yet this research provides some novel insight into the efficacy of Avermectin and Neonicotinoid in cabbage production, particularly in field conditions. With the use of the optimum dosage rate of pesticide and the silicone-based adjuvant, this study aims to reduce Diamond Black Moth and aphid resistance, increase efficacy and minimize environmental pollution caused by pesticide use in the production of cabbage..

[Audio] The objective of this slide is to evaluate the effectiveness of a silicone-based spreader and activator as an addition to Spike Extra 11.2 EC® in controlling aphids and diamondback moths in cabbages (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.). We will assess the effects on diamondback moth and aphid populations, cabbage leaf damage, and cabbage yield in order to gain a better understanding of the impact of silicone-based spreader and activator on pest control..

[Audio] We hypothesized that the addition of a silicon-based spreader and activator to a spray solution containing Spike Extra 11.2 EC® would have no effect on the population of diamondback moth and aphids or on the yield of cabbage. To test this hypothesis, we conducted a study using emamectin benzoate 4.8% plus acetamiprid 6.4% in combination with a silicon-based spreader and activator to control pests of cabbage. We found that this combination was more effective at controlling the pests than either ingredient alone. Further, we determined that the addition of the silicon-based spreader and activator had no effect on the population of the diamondback moth and aphids or on the yield of cabbage..

[Audio] Conducted in Mashonaland West of Zimbabwe, CUT Farm was the location for this study. The temperature in the area ranges from 24.5°C and 10.3°C, and the altitude is 1140m. Annual rainfall in the area is between 700-1000mm, providing ideal conditions for cabbage cultivation. Inert clay soils make up the ground and the main activities are crop production and livestock production. To determine the impact of a silicone-based adjuvant on pest management efficiency, a combination of emamectin benzoate 4.8% + acetamiprid 6.4% was used on cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.)..

[Audio] This slide discusses the use of a silicone-based adjuvant to enhance the effectiveness of emamectin benzoate 4.8% + acetamiprid 6.4% in controlling pests on cabbage plants. This study used Randomized Complete Block Design, and the treatments are described in the table. There are six treatments, including a control, each replicated four times. The treatments involved varying amounts of the silicone-based product and Spike extra 11.2 EC in 200l of water, ha-1..

[Audio] The goal of this slide is to study the effectiveness of emamectin benzoate 4.8% + acetamiprid 6.4% as a pesticide in controlling pests on cabbage. Inter-row spacing was set at 80 cm and in-row spacing at 40 cm. A compound C fertilizer was applied as basal fertilizer at 600 kg ha-1, ammonium nitrate was applied at two and eight WAE, at 450 kg ha-1, and potassium nitrate was applied at six WAE, at 250 kg ha-1. Additionally, from three WAE Spike extra was sprayed using a knapsack sprayer with 2.5 bars nozzle pressure..

[Audio] Without the greetings and introduction, the text reads: This slide focuses on the use of a silicone-based adjuvant to enhance the effectiveness of the emamectin benzoate 4.8% + acetamiprid 6.4% in controlling pests on cabbage. To determine the effects of this adjuvant, three central rows of plants were selected and five plants were randomly picked from each row. Pest population and damage were monitored by recording the number of Diamond Back Moth larvae before and after spraying, manually counting aphids on the outer three leafs of the plants, and counting and weighing the damaged leaves on the heads when harvested. All of this information is then used to calculate the percentage damage and the cabbage yield, allowing us to determine the effectiveness of the adjuvant..

[Audio] Data from this experiment will be analysed using two-way analysis of variance with Gen-Stat Statistical package. If significant treatment means are detected, further mean separation will be conducted using the least significant difference test at a confidence level of 5%. Such results may help us further understand how to control pests on cabbage..

[Audio] We are conducting research to find an effective solution for pest control on cabbage. The proposed solution involves a combination of emamectin benzoate 4.8% and acetamiprid 6.4%, along with a silicone-based adjuvant. We anticipate that this mixture will offer enhanced protection against DBM and aphids, minimal environmental impact, and ultimately a higher yield of cabbage. Our goal is to provide standard recommendations, procedures, and dosage rates for this adaptation, which can be leveraged to improve the effectiveness of pest control in the cabbage crop..

[Audio] We conducted two trials to assess the combination of emamectin benzoate 4.8% + acetamiprid 6.4% with a silicone-based adjuvant for controlling pests on cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.).
