CONFRONTATION OF RESULTS OF DIFFERENT TESTING METHODS FOR THE EFFECTS OF PESTICIDES ON PREDATORY MITE AMBLYSEIUS MCKENZIEI SCH. ET PR.
V. Taborský, A. M. H. Moanas
Summary
The suitability of pesticides for the system of integrated
pest control should be based on their residual toxicity assessed in a two-generation
test. On the other hand, direct toxicity affecting adults and their eggs does
not provide a complete picture of pesticide efficiency.
