Effects of new insecticides on natural enemies

Author: Tom Unruh, Dave Horton, Richard Hilton, Helmut Riedl, Elizabeth Beers, Nick Mills

Published: 2004

Summary: The objectives of this project were: 1. Test acute toxicity of new insecticides to 7 arthropods using standard bioassay 2. Develop bioassay methods to measure sub-lethal effects on beneficial insects 3. Test sub-lethal effects in those cases where acute effects are modest. 4. Model acute and sub-lethal toxicity data to provide field testable predictions of pesticide effects and to better represent combined effects
