PG - 16883 LID - 10.1038/s41598-022-20659-w [doi] LID - 16883 AB - The green peach aphid, Myzus persicae, is one of the most economically important pests in peach-growing areas around the world. In many countries, the application of insecticides is the main method to control and reduce the population of M. persicae. In this study, we investigated the effects and persistence of thiamethoxam against M. persicae by foliar spraying and root irrigation. The residues of thiamethoxam and clothianidin in peach were determined to assess food safety. The results showed that thiamethoxam treatment significantly reduced the population of M. persicae through foliar spraying and root irrigation. And the persistence of root irrigation on M. persicae was significantly longer than that of spraying. Thiamethoxam and clothianidin were absorbed by the roots, transported to other parts of the plant, and concentrated in the leaves, especially new leaves. The final residues of thiamethoxam and clothianidin in peaches were below the maximum residue limit (MRLs). These results suggested that thiamethoxam is more effective in M. persicae control through root irrigation than foliar spraying. The persistence of root irrigation on M. persicae was significantly longer than that of spraying. These results shed some light upon the control of M. persicae by root irrigation of thiamethoxam.
