Abstract

Realtive toxicity of some insecticides viz., acetamiprid, fipronil, imidacloprid, lambda cyhalothrin, malathion and thiamethoxam to apterous adults of the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer) was evaluated in the laboratory using leaf dip method of bioassay. The LC₅₀ values of these insecticides were calculated to be 17, 16.5, 4.5, 15.4, 362.2 and 4.1 ppm, respectively. On the basis of LC₅₀values, thiamethoxam was found to be the most toxic insecticide with LC₅₀ value of 4.1ppm, closely followed by imidacloprid with LC₅₀ value as 4.5ppm.

Malathion was found to be the least toxic with LC₅₀value of 362.2ppm.
