We conclude from this experiment that for the management of C. partellus, Imidacloprid is recommended as it exhibited high level of selectivity for T. chilonis parasitization capacity. However, further investigation is needed to study the effect of these chemicals on the whole life cycle of T. chilonis. ...

...cloprid, profenophos and chlorpyrifos treated aphids altered the functional response of larval coccinellids from type II to III. The change in response was linked to unconsciousness and disorientation induced by the insecticides targeting insect nervous system. Conclusively, none of the insecticides was found safe and all insecticides have had adverse effects on the life parameters of coccinellid beetle C. septempunctata. However, thiamethoxam, lambda-cyhaloth...
