From: Field evolved insecticide resistance in the cotton mealybug Phenacoccus solenopsis and its direct and indirect impacts on the endoparasitoid Aenasius arizonensis

Figure 2

Comparison of contact LC90 values of insecticides to mealybug and parasitoid with their field recommended concentrations. The expected mortality of field populations of P. solenopsis as achieved by label rates is represented graphically. The toxic impact of these insecticides on A. arizonensis field populations could be deduced from this graph. Susceptibility of the four field populations of P. solenopsis as given by the estimates of LC50 and 95% confidence limits for the tested insecticides was compared with the maximum recommended field dose of these insecticides by Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee (CIBRC), Government of India. As per CIBRC, the recommended doses for the tested insecticides against sucking pests were: imidacloprid 0.00625 mg L−1; profenofos: 0.125 mg L−1; thiodicarb: 0.185 mg L−1.
