Effect of Agrichemicals on a Predatory Bug, Geocoris proteus Distant (Heteroptera: Geocoridae)

Effect of Agrichemicals on a Predatory Bug, Geocoris proteus Distant (Heteroptera: Geocoridae)

We examined the effect of agrichemicals on an important predator, Geocoris proteus Distant, which has been observed in Allium crop fields. Adults and 3rd instar nymphs of G. proteus were dipped in 67 pesticide solutions at a practical concentration. As a result, two of ten organophosphorus insectici...

Zusammenfassung:We examined the effect of agrichemicals on an important predator, Geocoris proteus Distant, which has been observed in Allium crop fields. Adults and 3rd instar nymphs of G. proteus were dipped in 67 pesticide solutions at a practical concentration. As a result, two of ten organophosphorus insecticides, one of four carbamate insecticides, two of six neonicotinoid insecticides, two of six insect growth regulators (IGRs), nine of eleven other synthetic insecticides, all microbial insecticides, all acaricides and all fungicides were determined to be harmless (
