Effect of synthetic insecticides on the larvae of Coccinella septempunctata from Greek populations

et al. 2017

Coccinella septempunctata L. is one of the most abundant ladybird species in Greece, preying on several aphid species and other arthropods, of which many are pests of cultivated plants. These pests are usually controlled with chemical insecticides. During this process, however, beneficials are also exposed to pesticides. The development of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs against aphids requires the evaluation of the effects of insecticides on beneficial insects. We evaluated the LD 50 of imidacloprid, acetamiprid, bifenthrin and deltamethrin on first, second, third and fourth instar larvae of C. septempunctata by topical application. Moreover, we studied their sublethal effects (LD 10 ) on the development, weight and prey consumption of fourth instar larvae. The topical application bioassays showed that deltamethrin and bifenthrin were highly toxic to all larval instars, whereas imidacloprid and acetamiprid were less toxic to fourth instar larvae. The LD 10 dose significantly affected, developmental time, adult weight and daily predation. These results show the importance of assessing potential effect of insecticides on C. septempunctata for developing effective IPM programs of aphids in Greece.

“…In China, neonicotinoid insecticides currently are applied to control sucking insects that harm crops. The agricultural use of insecticides, however, is reported to negatively impact beneficial arthropods as well (Desneux et al, 2007;Papachristos and Milonas, 2008;Eisenback et al, 2010;He et al, 2012;Fogel et al, 2013).…”

“…The negative impact of neonicotinoid insecticides reported for Coccinellidae predators concerned acute toxicity and physiological and behavioral trait impairments (GraftonCardwell and Gu, 2003;Youn et al, 2003;Lucas et al, 2004;Papachristos and Milonas, 2008;Cabral et al, 2011;He et al, 2012;Fogel et al, 2013). From an environmental and agronomical point of view, it is important to study the lethal and sub-lethal effects of insecticides on non-target arthropods (e.g.…”

“…However, currently farmers still rely primarily on pesticide-based mixtures to manage the pest, which ultimately could lead to increased insecticidal resistance levels (e.g. B. oleae, Margaritopoulos et al 2008), as well as undesired side effects on human health and non-target organisms (Weisenburger 1993;Biondi et al 2013;Fogel et al 2013; and see Desneux et al 2007 for a thorough review).…”

Feeding and mating behaviour of Chinese citrus fly Bactrocera minax (Diptera, Tephritidae) in the field

The Chinese citrus fly, Bactrocera minax, is a major tephritid fruit fly pest that infests Citrus spp. fruits. The pest was removed from the national quarantine pest list in China in 2009 owing to its wide spread across the country, and it is currently considered a major threat to citrus industry in Asia. The frequent high infestation levels of B. minax in China emphasize the need for a more comprehensive understanding of its biology and ecology so that more efficient control measures can be developed and applied. In the framework of developing a sterile insect technique program against B. minax, we studied the feeding and mating activities of B. minax in situ (Citrus orchards and surrounding habitats) through open field surveys and video recordings. In the pre-oviposition period, sexually immature adults largely foraged for food (e.g. honeydew from aphids, nectar and sooty mould) on non-host plants. Then, sexually mature adult flies shifted to lick sooty moulds, bird faeces and, to a lesser extent, an unknown substance on the Citrus leaves and fruits during the mating and oviposition periods. Finally, during the post-oviposition period, the flies were observed feeding on ooze from grapes. The mating behaviour patterns of B. minax in the field were described as follows: first, the male established its territory close to the potential oviposition substrate (Citrus fruit), second, the female landed on the fruit and began inspection and ovipositor boring behaviour on the fruit surface (no male courtship observed e.g. wing vibration), and third, the male mounted and copulated with the female. The present study shed light on the feeding ecology and mating behaviour of B. minax in the field; this knowledge will facilitate development of better management strategies against this tephritid fly.
