Impact of Diflubenzuron Spray on Gypsy Moth Parasitoids in the Field12

Abstract
Diflubenzuron, (1(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(2,6 difluorobenzoyl)-urea), an insect growth regulator for control of Lymantria dispar (L.) was applied once at 0.03 kg AI in 4.76 liters water/ha using a Grumman Ag Cat aircraft. Gypsy moth larval mortality was high, ca. 50% after one week and 100% after 10 days. Apanteles melanoscelus (Ratzeburg) mortality was ca. 80% after 2 weeks. Tachinids showed 100% mortality.
