Abstract
The effects of 14 insecticides on survival and subsequent emergence of Amitus hesperidum and Prospaltella opulenta from 4th-instar Aleurocanthus woglumi were assessed in a series of laboratory experiments. There was no discernable relationship between any compound's acute mammalian toxicity or acute toxicity to the host and the compound's acute effect on survival of either parasitoid. There was a relationship, however, between a compound's solubility in water and its acute effect on parasitoid survival. Compounds with high (> 2,000 ppm) water solubility tended to spare both parasitoid species.
