Abstract:An experimental study was designed to test the reliability of field-usable bioassays in determining the toxicity of previously treated foliage to natural enemies. Lemon trees were treated at commercial rates with carbaryl-oil, chlorpyrifos and methidathion. Residues on leaves and twigs were quantified weekly for 50 days after treatment. Bioassays of treated and control foliage to Aphytis inelinus DeBach were conducted at similar intervals in Munger cells, 3.8 1 glass jars, and 2 1 paper cartons. Pesticide resi… Show more
