Five insecticides including two neem-based insecticides namely Achook and Neemactin, two biopesticides namely Halt and Dipel (both are formulations of Bacillus thuringiensis) and endosulfan were evaluated for their relative toxicity to newly emerged adults of T. chilonis. Observations revealed that neem based pesticides and biopesticides are harmless while endosulfan is slightly toxic to egg parasitoid.

Abstract


Five insecticides including two neem-based insecticides namely Achook and Neemactin, two biopesticides namely Halt and Dipel (both are formulations of Bacillus thuringiensis) and endosulfan were evaluated for their relative toxicity to newly emerged adults of T. chilonis. Observations revealed that neem based pesticides and biopesticides are harmless while endosulfan is slightly toxic to egg parasitoid.
