Safety of selected insecticides to mealybug parasitoids, Aenasius bambawalei Hayat and A. advena Compere (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) was evaluated using dry film method at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24h after treatment (HAT). Results showed that endosulfan, monocrotophos, profenofos and dimethoate caused 100% mortality within 1h in both A. bambawalei and A. advena, which was significantly higher than untreated check. Imidacloprid was comparatively safer and caused 100% mortality of both the sexes of the parasitoids after 3h. However, nimbecidine caused 100% mortality only after 24h indicating that it is the safest of all the insecticides tested for both the parasitoids and hence might be the first choice for mealybug management when parasitoid activity is noticed to give a cumulative effect.Keywords

The family Aphelinidae is a small group of Chalcidoidea, containing 36 genera and more than thousand species globaly and a major source of biocontrol agents of economically important pest species (Noyes, 2003). Generally, majority of the aphelinids are known as parasitoids of sternorrhynchous Homoptera. Species of the genera like Encarsia Foerster (Polaszek et al., 2004), and Eretmocerus Haldeman (Rose and Zolnerowich, 1997) attack Aleyrodidae while the members of the genus Aphelinus Dalman attack mostly aphids (Hayat, 1998).Full Text

The influence of Oecophylla smaragdina Fabricius on parasitism of Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley and Ferrisia virgata Cockerell by Aenasius arizonensis (Girault) ( = Aenasius bambawalei Hayat) and A. advena Compere were studied under laboratory conditions. The number of surviving A. arizonensis and A. advena was 3.40 and 5.20 at 20th minute, and 1.0 and 0.8 at 60th minute, respectively. Per cent parasitism was 13.60 and 10.00 in treatment with O. smaragdina for A. arizonensis and A. advena, respectively. Per cent mortality due to O. smaragdina attack was 93.33 and 94.67 for A. arizonensis and A. advena, respectively.
