When it comes to mulberry pest control, there are specific pesticides that are recommended for use. According to the China Pesticide Network, here are some of the most commonly used and effective options:
1. The Green Plant brand 60% Fenitrothion EC (formerly known as Double-Effect Phosphorus) is a registered pesticide by the Ministry of Agriculture, specifically designed for mulberry trees. It has a short residual period, strong contact action, and is economically safe. When applying, mix 15 ml of the pesticide into 16 liters of water (dose rate: 400–600 mg/kg). This product works well in controlling larvae, such as those of moths and crickets, especially 10 days before leaf harvesting.
2. Another popular choice is Green Plant 40% Deltamethrin EC (Sangbao), which is the only pesticide registered for mulberry trees by the Ministry of Agriculture. It is widely used in sericulture regions like Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The product comes in injection form, with each vial containing 4 ml. When using, add 4 ml to 16 liters of water, and apply it 8 days before harvest in summer, or up to 15 days before in spring and autumn. It effectively controls lepidopteran larvae, including those of mulberry and wild pheasants. However, it's important not to exceed the recommended dose (50–100 mg/kg), as this ensures the safety of silkworms when they feed on the leaves.
According to the Pesticide Network, there are currently no registered pesticides specifically for controlling mulberry mites, both domestically and internationally. To manage these pests, farmers in Haining and Huzhou often use 73% Acephate EC, which is registered for use on citrus and vegetables. It has proven effective against mites, but careful dosage is required. For best results, mix 4 ml of the pesticide into 16 liters of water and apply it 15 days before picking.
Sericulture pesticides must meet high standards due to the sensitivity of silkworms. Farmers are advised to consult local plant protection departments for guidance. There are very few pesticides registered for use on mulberry trees globally, and the available options vary in quality. Therefore, extra caution is necessary when using them:
1. Always choose registered and specialized pesticides for mulberry protection. Make sure to check the brand and manufacturer’s name to avoid counterfeit products or low-quality mixtures that could harm silkworms.
2. Use sprayers exclusively for sericulture. Sprayers previously used for other pesticides, such as chrysanthemum-based ones, can be highly toxic to silkworms. Before using, make sure to thoroughly clean any sprayer that has been used for other chemicals.
3. When selecting pesticides like 73% Acephate EC, always opt for products from reputable manufacturers. Start with lower concentrations to test effectiveness and ensure that the pesticide does not harm silkworms.
4. Silkworms are highly sensitive to pesticides. Careful dosage control is essential to prevent prolonged residue on mulberry leaves, which could lead to silkworm poisoning. Additionally, avoid pesticide drift to nearby mulberry fields to protect other crops.
