Test example 31

The testing drug solutions to be used in this Test example were prepared by diluting the formulations prepared according to the above-mentioned Formulation examples with an ion-exchange water so that the active ingredient concentration was set to 500 ppm. Cucumber (Sagami-hanj iro-fushinari) was grown in a polyethylene cup until the first true leaf was developed. Thirty (30) heads of cotton aphid {Aphis gossypii) (including the adults and the larvae) was released onto the leaves of the cabbage and next day, the above-mentioned testing drug solutions 20 mL were spread. After 6 days, the number of the surviving insects was counted and the control value was calculated by the following equation.

Control value (%) = { 1- (Cb*Tai) / (CaixTb) } *100
