Abstract | ||||
The efficiency of profenofos, carbosulfan and chlorfenapyr, was evaluated against eggs, larvae, pupae and adults of the tortoise beetle Cassida vittata Vill. inhabiting sugar beet fields in Kafr El-Sheikh Govemorate during 1999/2000 and 2000/2001 sugar beet growing seasons. Data obtained revealed that when mortality rates were considered, profenofos and carbosulfan were the most efficient compounds on eggs, larvae, pupae and adults of C. vitiate. However, chlorfenapyr, demonstrates a moderate toxic effect. The side effects of the tested insecticides on the associated bioagents, viz. Coccinella undecimpunctata Reiche, Chrysoperla camea Steph. and Paederus allied; Koch was studied. Unfortunately, profenofos and carbosulfan demonstrate unacceptable toxic effect. Chlorfenapyr was moderately effective either in controlling the insect pest or in its side effect on the associated predators. | ||||
