Abstract:
The toxicity of a widely used synthetic pyrethroid lambda cyhalothrin was determined and compared with a biological pesticide (biocide) of bacterial origin abamectin by topical method against 2nd and 3rd instar larvae of Phenacoccus solenopsis (Tinsley) (Hemiptera : Pseudococcidae). The result was observed after 24 hours of treatment, the range of mean % mortality and P-values were determined statistically at 95% C.I (through Minitab computer package). The LC50 value was determined by log-probit graph paper. Both the pesticides have been proved toxic in laboratory assay against the pests. The calculated LC50 was 0.65µg/cm2 and 0.68 µg/cm2 by lambda cyhalothrin and abamectin respectively against the 2nd & 3rd Instars of P. solenopsis (Tinsley).The efficacy of biocide abamectin was found to be less but quite comparable with the efficacy of synthetic pyrethroid lambda cyhalothrin.
