Abstract
Repeated applications of ethyl and methyl parathion for artichoke plume moth control on globe artichoke in California results in the resurgence of a secondary pest, the Chrysanthemum Ieafminer, Phytomyza syngenesiae (Hardy), due primarily to disrupting effects on the eulophid parasitoids. A field trial testing the effects of 8 insecticices on the fly and on a primary parasitoid, Chrysocharis ainsliei (Crawford), indicated the most favorable selectivity with acephate, followed by aldicarb and phosalone which allowed for adequate fly control with minimum adverse effects on the parasitoid.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
