Total predatory beetles ladybeetles, red and blue beetles, other predatory beetles Total predatory bugs big-eyed bugs, minute pirate bugs, brown smudge bugs, glossy shield bug, predatory shield bug, damsel bug, assassin bug, apple dimpling bug. Very high impact on minute two-spotted ladybeetle and other ladybeetles for wet spray, moderate impact for dried spray Information; Citrus pests and their natural enemies, edited by Dan Smith; University of California Statewide IPM project, Cotton, Selectivity and persistence of key cotton insecticides and miticides. 4. Pyrethroids; alpha-cypermethrin, cypermethrin,beta-cyfluthrin, cyfluthrin, bifenthrin, fenvalerate, esfenvalerate, deltamethrin and lambda-cyhalothrin. Data Source: British Crop Protection Council The Pesticide Manual: A World Compendium (Thirteenth Edition),. Where LD50 data is not available impacts are based on comments and descriptions. Where LD50 data is available impacts are based on the following scale: very low = LD50 (48h) > 100 ug/bee, low = LD50 (48h) < 100 ug/bee, moderate = LD50 (48h) < 10 ug/bee, high = LD50 (48h) < 1 ug/bee, very high = LD50 (48h) < 0.1 ug/bee. Refer to the Protecting Bees section in this booklet. 5. Organophosphates; omethoate, monocrotophos, profenofos, chlorpyrifos, chlorpyrifos-methyl, azinophos ethyl, methidathion, parathion-methyl and thiometon.. 6. Helicoverpa punctigera only. Wet residue of these products is toxic to bees, however, applying the products in the early evening when bees are not foraging will allow spray to dry, reducing risk to bees the following day. 7. Bifenthrin is registered for mite and silverleaf whitefly control; alpha-cypermethrin, beta-cyfluthrin, bifenthrin, deltamethrin and lambda-cyhalothrin are registered for control of mirids. 16. May reduce survival of ladybeetle larvae rating of moderate for this group. 17. May be detrimental to eggs and early stages of many insects, generally low toxicity to adults and later stages. 8. Persistence of pest control; short, less than 3 days; medium, 3-7 days, long, greater than 10 days. 18. Will not control organophosphate resistant pests (e.g. mites, some cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii) populations. 9. Suppression of mites and aphids only Impact rating (% reduction in beneficials following application, based on scores for the major beneficial groups); VL (very low), less than 10%; L (low), 10-20%; M (moderate), 20-40%; H (high), 40-60%; VH (very high), > 60%. A indicates no data available for specific local species. Rankings for Eretmocerus based on data for E. mundus (P. De Barro, CSIRO, unpublished) and for E. eremicus (Koppert B.V., The Netherlands ( 11. Bacillus thuringiensis. 12. Pest resurgence is +ve if repeated applications of a particular product are likely to increase the risk of pest outbreaks or resurgence. Similarly sequential applications of products with a high pest resurgence rating will increase the risk of outbreaks or resurgence of the particular pest species.
