Biosafety of a biopesticide and some pesticides used on cotton crop against green lacewing, Chrysoperla carnea (Stehens) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae)

چکیده
Chlorpyrifos, lambda-cyhalothrin, cypermethrin, spinosad and buprofezin were tested against the second instar larvae and adults (except buprofezin) of the green lacewing, Chrysoperla carnea. The results showed that chlorpyrifos was more toxic to second instar larvae than lambda-cyhalothrin, cypermethrin, spinosad and buprofezin with LC50 values of 1.78, 8.81, 26.9, 294.36 and 997.05 ppm respectively. However, lambda-cyhalothrin was highly toxic to the adult of C. carnea compared to the other pesticides. The LC50 of lambda-cyhalothrin was 0.04 ppm. Buprofezin and Spinosad were the least toxic to second instar larvae and adults of C. carnea respectively. According to the percents of mortality, these pesticide toxicity was classified into harmful pesticide (chlorpyrifos), moderately harmful (lambda-cyhalothrin and cypermethrin), slightly harmful pesticide (spinosad) and harmless pesticides (buprofezin). While, with the adults treated, these pesticides classified into two groups such as moderately harmful (lambda-cyhalothrin, chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin) and less harmful (spinosad) pesticides. These results confirmed that the adult of C. carnea was more susceptible to the previous pesticides than second instar larvae. Buprofezin and spinosad are more suitable pesticides for integrated pest management programs and can be used upon the peak of C. carnea population density.

In the greenhouse, survival of adult green lacewing, Chrysoperla carnea Stephens (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae), was reduced after feeding on flowers from plants treated with a soil application of imidacloprid (Marathon 1% G, label rate and twice label rate). Percent survival for C. carnea at 10 d was statistically different between treatments and controls: 79% for untreated flowers, 14% for label r...

Maize (Zea mays) pollen is highly nutritious and can be used by predatory arthropods to supplement or replace a carnivorous diet. We demonstrate that maize pollen can be utilized by larvae of the green lacewing, Chrysoperla carnea (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) under laboratory conditions. Complete development on maize pollen was not possible, but 25% of neonates reached the third instar. When only ...

متن کاملReconsideration of the role of yeasts associated with Chrysoperla green lacewings
As larvae, lacewings in the genus Chrysoperla (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae: Chrysopinae: Chrysopini) are predators of aphids and other soft-bodied insects. Adult Chrysoperla, however, are not predacious and feed on pollen, nectar, and honeydew. Earlier studies observed that Chrysoperla adults house yeasts in their crops, and based on the results of a sorbic acid yeast suppression experiment, conclu...
