Özet
Metaseiulus (=Galendromus or Typhlodromus) occidentalis (Nesbitt) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) is an important and effective predator of pest mites in agricultural crops and is commercially available in the United States. Azadirachtin is a biorational pesticide, which contains azadirachtin A (10 g/l) as the basic active compound. The active compound has several properties useful for insect control (repellency, feeding and oviposition deterrence) and is considered safe for the environment. With the use of natural compound like azadirachtin A in integrated pest management programs, it is important to know whether the compounds have any side effects on predatory mite such as M. occidentalis. Therefore, the current study aimed to examine the toxic effect of different doses (0.1 ml (NZ-1*2), 0.05 ml (NZ-1), 0.025 ml (NZ-2), 0.01 ml (NZ-3), 0.005 ml (NZ-4) and 0.001 (NZ-5)/ 10 ml water) of NeemAzal-T/S (a.i. 10 g/l azadirachtin A) on M. occidentalis. The mortality rate of M. occidentalis was 77.5% 24 h after application of NeemAzal-T/S at 0.1 ml/10 ml water dose. The mortality caused by the recommended dose (0.05 ml/10 ml water) of NeemAzal-T/S was 62.31%, 70% and 73.07%, 24, 48 and 72 h after application, respectively. It is concluded that NeemAzal-T/S is moderately toxic against the predatory mite M. occidentalis. Therefore, the use of NeemAzal-T/S to control the pest mites in agricultural crops might affect the populations of predatory mites.
