“…For the toxicity index, Syotin was the standard recording 100% efficiency, while efficiency of Solar and ash was lower than Syotin recording 54.125 and 2.098, respectively. The present results agree with that obtained by Stark and Vargas (2009) who reported that, the synthetic pyrethroids, Warrior and Force were the most effective soil insecticides evaluated for control of three species of fruit flies compared to diazinon, and Stark et al, (2013) who proved that warrior I and two formulations of Force (CS and 3G) were very effective in reducing adult emergence of the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata, (Wiedemann) the melon fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett) and the oriental fruit fly, B. dorsalis after exposure as third instar larvae.…”

The present study was carried out to evaluate the toxicity of Syotin 25% (Pyrethroid) Solar (petroleum product) or diesel fuel and plant ash to Bactrocera. zonata (Saunders), full grown larvae in three different soil types sandy, clay and mixed soil (mixture of sandy and clay (1:1) by volume), and the effect of different soil depths and types on the emergence rate of B. zonata pupae. The results proved that, Solar in sandy soil recorded the highest mean of mortality 71.044% followed by Syotin in clay soil recording 68.89% and there is no significant differences in means of mortality for Syotin and Solar in all soil types while there is a significance in means of mortality for ash treatments. Syotin recorded the lowest LC 50 value 0.925 ml/L while Solar recorded the lowest LC 90 value 8.541 ml/l., comparing the efficacy of the three compounds on the mean percentage of mortality regardless to the soil type. Syotin cause the highest mean of mortality 60.9% followed by Solar recorded 55.2%. There is no effect of the type of soil used on the mean percentage of mortality. The highest rate of emerged flies was obtained at the lowest soil depth. At 16 cm depth no emergence was observed in dry clay soil while 3.33% emergence was observed in dry mixed soil at 14 and 16 cm depth. The results cleared that soil's type and depth of burying pupae has an influence of the rate of emergence of B. zonata adults.

“…Fipronil and imidacloprid have been tested for use in the chemical control of several tephritid species (Barry et al 2004, Ruiz et al 2004, Yee and Alston 2006, Ruiz Torres and Montiel Bueno 2007, Stark and Vargas 2009), and they have been registered for the control of fruit flies in several countries. For example, fipronil is being used in a bait spray for the control of tephritid fruit flies in the South Pacific and Australia (Allwood et ai.…”

“…For example, fipronil is being used in a bait spray for the control of tephritid fruit flies in the South Pacific and Australia (Allwood et ai. 2002, Stark andVargas 2009), and imidacloprid is currently registered in Spain for use in olive, Olea europaea L., groves against B. oleae (MARM 2011). However, to our knowledge, there is little information available regarding the toxicity of fipronil and imidacloprid on the braconid parasitoids of tephritid pests, including P. concolor.…”

Lethal and Sublethal Toxicity of Fipronil and Imidacloprid on Psyttalia concolor (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

et al. 2011

Psyttalia concolor (Szépligeti) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a koinobiont endoparasitoidof several species of tephritid (Díptera) larvae, such as Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin) and Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann). Here, we report on the effects of imidacloprid and fipronil on P. concolor females, when different routes of exposure were evaluated: residual contact (cover and bait sprays) and via treatment of host species. Moreover, the persistence of the bait formulated compound also was studied. For each experiment, lethal (mortality) and sublethal effects (parasitization rate or longevity) were studied. Fipronil produced 100% mortality irrespective of exposure route, and it was very persistent, because 34-d-old residues still produced this high mortality rate, being as toxic or even more toxic than the reference product dimethoate. Toxicity of imidacloprid depends on the mode of exposure, although always remained less toxic than dimethoate. Imidacloprid caused high mortality or sublethal effect to the progeny in cover sprays and when applied via treated host, being harmless in bait sprays application. In conclusion, our results suggest that fipronil should not be used in the field when the parasitoid is present. On the contrary, although imidacloprid is physiologically active against females of P. concolor, ecological selectivity may result through the use of bait treatment.

“…Treatment of the medium for pupation with pyriproxyfen affected the larval development. Stark and Vargas (2009) evaluated, in Hawaii, toxicity of Platinum, Force, Admire, Regent, and Warrior after application to sand and soil as drenches for control of the Mediterranean fruit fly, C. capitata (Wiedemann); melon fly, B. cucurbitae (Coquillett); and oriental fruit fly, B. dorsalis (Hendel) and reported that susceptibility of each species differed. In sand, the order of toxicity at LC 50 based on the 95% confidence limit overlap approach for C. capitata from most toxic to least toxic was diazinon > Force = Warrior > Admire = Platinum > Regent.…”

“…C. capitata is a dangerous agricultural pest in European-Mediterranean basin, South Africa, central and South America, South Western Australia, Hawaii and USA i.e., the medfly is a cosmopolitan pest that has a wide host range of over 250 species of fruit trees, nut and vegetable plants (McDonald, 1986). Generally, the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs for fruit flies rely mainly on insecticides as coverage or partial-bait spray, soil-drench treatments, male annihilation technique and poisoned mass trapping methods (Saul and & Seifert, 1990;Mohamed & El-Nasser, 1992;Stark et al, 1992;Mosallam, 1993;Purcell & Schroeder, 1996;Abdallahi et al 2000;Stark & Vargas, 2009;Rizwanual Haq et al, 2012;Halawa et al, 2013 andStark et al, 2014).…”

The full grown larvae and pupae of 3-days old of both Bactrocera zonata and Ceratitis capitata were sandy-soil-treated under laboratory conditions with five different insecticides to determine their comparative toxicity. The toxicity of the used compounds differently varied against the 3 rd larval instar of B. zonata, where Marisol 1.8% EC (abamectin) surpassed the other tested compounds at LC 50 (5.343 µl/L), while Opal 5%EC (lufenuron) was the most effective insecticide against the 3 rd larval instar of C. capitata showing the lowest value of LC 50 of 11.299 µl/L. Respecting to the three-day old pupae of the two tested species, Marisol 1.8%EC was the most potent compound at LC 50 (395.461 µl/L for B. zonata and 151.373 µl/L for C. capitate). The full grown larvae of B. zonata were the most susceptible to Heater 3%SC (lufenuron+emamectin benzoate) and Marisol 1.8%EC at both LC 50 and LC 90 , where those of C. capitata showed tolerance level to the two insecticides by 7.
