Abstract
A new laboratory method may be used to evaluate the effectiveness of insecticides vs. Megaselia halterata (Wood), a mushroom fly. The method involves counting the emerged adult progeny of 10 pair of flies which have been introduced into closed jars containing insecticide-treated, one-week-old, compost and spawn. The percent reductions in progeny numbers produced with diazinon (25% EC) in concentrations between 1 and 25 ppm suggest that the results obtained may be directly related to field expectations.
