The toxicological effects of petroleum spray oils on insects – Evidence for an alternative mode of action and possible new control options

We tested the most widely held theory about the mode of action of petroleum spray oils (PSOs) on insects (i.e. anoxia). An nC24 petroleum oil was applied topically to cotton aphids ( Aphis gossypii) and cluster caterpillars ( Spodoptera litura), which then showed signs of mortality that are inconsis...
