Abstract

Repeated applications of ethyl and methyl parathion for artichoke plume moth control on globe artichoke in California results in the resurgence of a secondary pest, the Chrysanthemum Ieafminer, Phytomyza syngenesiae (Hardy), due primarily to disrupting effects on the eulophid parasitoids. A field trial testing the effects of 8 insecticices on the fly and on a primary parasitoid, Chrysocharis ainsliei (Crawford), indicated the most favorable selectivity with acephate, followed by aldicarb and phosalone which allowed for adequate fly control with minimum adverse effects on the parasitoid.
