Summary:[ Objective] The paper was to screen a new ideal sustained-release, long-lasting and low-toxic pesticide and convenient and efficient pesticide application technology for controlling Ceratovacuna lanigera and Baliathrips serratus. [Method] 2% Imidacloprid GR were selected and applied in the soil for field efficacy trial. [ Result ] The optimum dosage of 2% imidacloprid GR was 30 kg/hm2 ( active ingredient 600 g), which can be mixed with fertilizer (30 kg pesticide and 40 - 80 kg fertilizer per hm2) once combined with sugarcane planting management or big ridging during February and June. The control effects against C. lanigera and B. serratus could be more than 98.2% and 81.1% , respectively. The actual yield and sugar content in various pesticide treatments were increased by 33 390 kg/hm2 and 6.6% respectively compared to blank control. [ Conclusion] 2% imidacloprid GR has good control effects on C. lanigera and B. serratus. It is a new pesticide with ideal sustained-release, long-lasting and low-toxin effects against C. lanigera and B. serratus. Therefore, it could be used alternatively with other pesticides, to delay production and development of drug resistance.
