Side effects of some insecticides Used in Insect Pest Management on Egg parasitoid, Trichogramma pintoi using in Agricultural Control

In this study, that the side effect of different doses of the Spinosad, Spinetoram and Bacillus thrungiensis subsp kurstaki active ingredents of the insecticides on the larvae and pupae stages of egg parasitoid Trichogramma pintoi on Ephestia keuhniella were investigated. Some biological properties were also determined such as parasitization and emergence rate, and adult lifespan on unparasited E. kuehniella eggs treated by these active ingredents. Spinosad and spinetoram showed high toxic effects on parasitized eggs in early (larval period) and late ( pupa) period by dipping insecticide application but B. t. subsp did not show toxic effects. As a result of this study, it was determined that B.t. subsp kurstaki can be used safely with the egg parasitoid wasps Trichogramma pintoi.
