| Abstract: | The residual effect of two biopesticides, abamectin and spinosad, on the predatory bugOrius laevigatus (Fieber) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) was tested using a laboratory and an extended laboratory method. Experiments were conducted
in the spring and summer 2000. The LD50s on the 2nd and 5th nymphal instar and the adult stage, were lower for abamectin than for spinosad. The toxicity of each
product on the 2nd instar and adults was significantly greater than on the 5th nymphal instar. Abamectin was much more persistent
in spring than in summer. Spray deposits (at the recommended rate of 10 ppm a.i. for leafminer control) were toxic for 1 month
in spring, whereas in summer they were no longer toxic after 2 weeks. Spinosad summer spray deposits (recommended rate of
250 ppm a.i. for leafminer and caterpillar control) were not toxic after 5 residual days.
