“…Orius insidiosus stock culture was initiated with insects purchased from a commercial supplier (Plant‐Prod Quebec, Laval, Quebec, Canada) and maintained in growth chambers. The rearing technique was adapted from Kiman and Yeargan9 and Stack and Drummond 10. The insects were maintained in 1 litre glass jars placed in growth chambers set at 22 (±2) °C, 65–75% relative humidity (RH) and a 16/8 h light/dark photoperiod.…”

A laboratory study assessed the contact toxicity of indoxacarb, abamectin, endosulfan, insecticidal soap, S-kinoprene and dimethoate to Amblyseius fallacis (Garman), Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot and nymphs of Orius insidiosus (Say). Amblyseius fallacis is a predacious phytoseiid mite and an integral part of integrated pest management (IPM) programmes in North American apple orchards. The other two beneficials are widely used in greenhouses to manage various arthropod pests infesting vegetable and ornamental crops. Indoxacarb is a slow-acting insecticide, so toxicity data were recorded 7 days post-treatment when the data had stabilised. It showed no toxicity to O. insidiosus nymphs or to A. fallacis or P. persimilis adults. The LC50 values for O. insidiosus nymphs and P. persimilis could not be estimated with their associated confidence limits, because the g values were greater than 0.5 and under such circumstances the lethal concentration would lie outside the limits. The LC50 for A. fallacis was 7.6x the label rate. The fecundity of P. persimilis was reduced by 26.7%. The eclosion of treated eggs from both species of beneficial mites was not affected adversely. Among the other pest control products, S-kinoprene and endosulfan affected adversely at least one species of the predators, whereas dimethoate, abamectin and insecticidal soap were very toxic to all three beneficials. Indoxacarb should be evaluated as a pest control product in IPM programmes.

The contact toxicity of indoxacarb, abamectin, endosulfan, insecticide soap, S-kinoprene and dimethoate to Orius insidiosus (Say) and Aphidius colemani Viereck were studied in the laboratory. These beneficials are often used in the greenhouses to manage various insect pests. Indoxacarb is slow acting and therefore, to estimate lethal dosages, observations should be continued for several days until data stabilize. Seven days after treatment, the LC50 was 0.119 g AI litre(-1) for O insidiosus adults and 0.019 g AI litre(-1) for A colemani. At that time, the recommended field concentration was 0.479 times the LC50 for O insidiosus adults and three times the LC50 for A colemani. In contrast, indoxacarb had no adverse effect on the reproductive capacity of wasps surviving a treatment or the developing wasps in the aphid mummy. Among the other insecticides S-kinoprene was the most innocuous while dimethoate was the most toxic to the two beneficials. The other insecticides had overlapping toxicities.

“…The artificial light environment is likely to influence behaviour related to activities such as orientation, host plant location, parasitism, predation and dispersion, as well as reproduction, development, survival and circadian and photoperiod rhythms in both pests and beneficial species (e.g. Stack & Drummond, 1997; Zilahi‐Balogh et al , 2006, 2007, 2009; Suzuki et al , 2007) in a species‐specific manner, depending on the visual capacity of the arthropod species, and the type of light technology and regime used. In this section, we review what is known about the effect of light on whiteflies and their natural enemies, with some additional examples from thrips, aphids and spider mites.…”

“…The novel greenhouse lighting technologies also offer the possibility of improved management of pests and diseases (Schuerger & Brown, 1997; Rahman et al , 2003; Raviv & Antignus, 2004; Díaz & Fereres, 2007; Wang et al , 2010). So far, few studies have been specifically aimed at understanding how light affects the biology and behaviour of pests and beneficial arthropods in luminary lighted greenhouse crops (Wyatt & Brown, 1977; Shields, 1980; Stack & Drummond, 1997; Perdikis et al , 1999; Ruberson et al , 2000; Simmons et al , 2004; Gillespie & Quiring, 2005; Zilahi‐Balogh et al , 2006, 2007, 2009; Johansen, 2009). The effect of ultraviolet (UV)‐absorbing greenhouse coverings and mulches on arthropod behaviour has received more systematic attention (e.g.…”

Novel lighting technology offers the possibility of improved arthropod integrated pest management (IPM) in artificially lighted crops. This review compiles the current knowledge on how greenhouse pest and beneficial arthropods are directly affected by light, with the focus on whiteflies. The effect of ultraviolet depletion on orientation and colour‐coded phototaxis are to some extent studied and utilised for control of the flying adult stage of some pest species, but far less is known about the visual ecology of commercially used biological control agents and pollinators, and about how light affects arthropod biology in different life stages. Four approaches for utilisation of artificial light in IPM of whiteflies are suggested: (a) use of attractive visual stimuli incorporated into traps for monitoring and direct control, (b) use of visual stimuli that disrupt the host‐detection process, (c) radiation with harmful or inhibitory wavelengths to kill or suppress pest populations and (d) use of time cues to manipulate daily rhythms and photoperiodic responses. Knowledge gaps are identified to design a road map for research on IPM in crops lighted with high‐pressure sodium lamps, light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) and photoselective films. LEDs are concluded to offer possibilities for behavioural manipulation of arthropods, but the extent of such possibilities depends in practice on which wavelength combinations are determined to be optimal for plant production. Furthermore, the direct effects of artificial lighting on IPM must be studied in the context of plant‐mediated effects of artificial light on arthropods, as both types of manipulations are possible, particularly with LEDs.
