Abstract

A simple method for the insecticide bioassay of liposcelids is outlined. The contact toxicity of five organophosphorus insecticides (OPs) and two carbamate insecticides (CBMs) was ascertained for Liposcelis bostrychophila and L. entomophila. Liposcelis entomophila was more tolerant to all the insecticides tested than the other species. Malathion was the least toxic OPs to both species, while chlorpyrifos-methyl was the most toxic insecticide tested against L. bostrychophila. These findings are discussed in relation to the infestation of these liposcelids in rice storages.

Résumé

Une méthode simple pour l'essai biologique des insecticides contre les liposcelides est presentée. La toxicité de cinq insecticides organophosphoreux (OPs) et de deux insecticides carbamates (CBMs) contre Liposcelis bostrychophila et L. entomophila a été étudiée. Pour tous les insecticides essayés dans cette étude, L. entomophila s'est montrée plus résistante que L. bostrychophila. Contre ces deux espèces, le malathion est un des OPs moins efficaces, mais le chlorpyrifos-méthyle est l'insecticide le plus toxique contre L. bostrychophila. Ces découvertes sont evaluées par rapport aux infestations de ces liposcelides dans les entrepôts de riz.
