Abstract

Systemic action of plant tissues may offer a possibility of developing ecological selectivity: once the insecticide is absorbed and translocated in the plant tissues, only phytophagous pests will consume it directly, and it reduces the population of plant-feeding pests without killing beneficial organisms. Therefore, systemic activity is a very desirable property of both insecticides and fungicides. The usage of systemic compounds may decrease the spray coverage, making possible the use of lighter application equipment, and decrease the cost of application. Also, pests whose habitats prevent intoxication by contact insecticide, e.g., apple leaf curling aphid, Myzus malisuctus Matsumura, may be controlled by the systemic insecticide.
