EFFECT OF AN INSECTICIDE FORMULATION ON Hippodamia convergens (GUÉRIN) AND NYMPHS OF Aphis craccivora (KOCH) IN THE LABORATORY

ABSTRACT The toxicity of an insecticide formulation containing triazamate and alpha-cypermethrin (120 and 38.4 g L-1, respectively) was evaluated on Hippodamia convergens (Guérin), and its prey, the aphid Aphis craccivora (Koch). Both insects were collected on alfalfa, Medicago sativa L., and reared...
