Abstract

Toxicity and persistence of eight fungicides (carbendazim, tridemorph, mancozeb, captafol, triadimefon, Bordeaux mixture, sulphur w.p. and sulphur dust) to Cryptolaemus montrouzieri Mulsant adults was assessed by calculating the median lethal time (LT) values in days, following probit analysis. While tridemorph 0·05% was the safest, triadimefon 0·05% was most toxic with greater persistence. Hence the spraying of tridemorph 0·05% and the release of the predator could be simultaneous.
