Abstract

It is necessary to investigate side effects of insecticides on natural enemies of pests. In this study, toxicity of spirotetramat, acetamiprid, pirimicarb and flonicamid was investigated on parasitoid wasp, Lysiphlebus fabarum (Marshall). Furthermore, sublethal effect of the insecticides were evaluated on the functional response of the parasitoid to densities of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 of third instar nymphs of Aphis fabae Scopoli under laboratory conditions. Residual bioassay method was used to determine the toxicity of the insecticides on parasitoid adults. For functional response assay, mated females (< 12 h old) were exposed to LC25 of mentioned insecticides and distilled water as control in glass tube. Experiments were conducted in 15 replicates. The LC50 values of acetamiprid, pirimicarb and flonicamid were 22.5, 75.6 and 302.1 ppm, respectively. The mortality was 16% at three times the field rate (500 ppm) of spirotetramat. Functional response on control and insecticides treatments fitted the type II. Attack rate (a) in control, spirotetramat, acetamiprid, pirimicarb and flonicamid treatments were estimated 0.0689±0.01, 0.0480±0.01, 0.0272±0.06, 0.0475±0.01 and 0.0532±0.01 h-1 and handling time (Th) were 0.4322±0.04, 0.5148±0.06, 1.1004±0.18, 0.4558±0.08 and 0.4601±0.04 h, respectively. The results indicated that spirotetramat, flonicamid and pirimicarb had lower side effects on L. fabarum in comparison with acetamiprid and they are suitable candidates for controlling A. fabae in combination with L. fabarum.
