Irulandi, S., Kumar, P.K.V., Seetharama, H.G., & Sreedharan, K. 2000 Laboratory evaluation of imidacloprid 17.8% SL against the coffee mealy bug, Planococcus lilacinus (Cockerell).. Journal of Coffee Research 28(1-2): 92-94.

Notes: The efficacy of imidacloprid (0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.08, and 0.1% a.i.) against P. lilacinus on coffee (Coffea arabica) was investigated in the laboratory. Insect mortality was recorded 5, 10, 15, and 21 days after treatment. At 21 days after spraying, 0.02, 0.05, 0.08, and 0.1% a.i. imidacloprid were highly effective (100% mean mortality), followed by 0.01% a.i. (94%).
