Abstract

Lycoriella auripila (Winn.) (Diptera: Sciaridae) and Megaselia halterata (wood.) (Diptera: Phoridae) are major pests of cultivated mushroom, Agaricus bisporus (Lge.) Imbach. They are controlled by chemical insecticides. It is necessary to study the toxicity of insecticides against the dipteran pests of mushrooms. This research investigated the toxicity of four commercial insecticides against the larval stage of the pests including pyriproxyfen and cyromazine from insect growth regulator group (IGRs), trichlorfon and cypermethrin from organophosphorus and pyrethroid groups respectively. The insecticides bioassay with sciarid and phorid larvae were conducted in the growing medium of mushroom. Insecticide treatments were incorporated into growing medium. The LC50 values of the insecticides were determined by emerged adults. The values of LC50 against the sciarid larvae for pyriproxyfen, cyromazine, cypermethrin and trichlorfon were 1.46, 31.15, 47.96 and 103.8 and for phorid larvae7.25, 189.65, 69.96 and 86.8 mg ai/L respectively. Pyriproxyfen was more toxic insecticide on larvae of both the pests.
 
پشه سیارید Lycoriella auripila (Winnertz) (Diptera: Sciaridae) و مگس فورید (Diptera: Phoridae) (Wood) Megaselia halterata آفات عمده قارچ­ پرورشی Imbach (Lange) Agaricus bisporius هستند. امروزه این آفات با حشره­کش­های شیمیایی کنترل می­شوند، بررسی حساسیت آن­ها به حشره­کش­های مجاز کشور امری ضروری است. در این مطالعه حساسیت لارو هر دو آفت به چهار حشره­کش از گروه­های مختلف شامل: پیری‌پروکسی فن و سیرومازین از تنظیم کننده­های رشد حشرات (IGR)، تری کلرفن از گروه فسفره آلی و سایپرمترین از گروه پایرتروئیدها ارزیابی شد. زیست سنجی لاروها دربستر کشت قارچ خوراکی انجام شد و LC50 براساس ظهور حشرات کامل محاسبه گردید. مقدار LC50 حشره­کش­های پیری‌پروکسی‌فن، سیرومازین، سایپرمترین و تری کلرفن روی لارو سیارید به‌ترتیب 46/1، 15/31، 96/47 و 8/103 و روی لارو فورید به‌ترتیب 25/7 ، 6/189، 96/69 و 8/86 میلی­گرم بر لیتر بر اساس ماده مؤثره تعیین شد. بر اساس نتایج به‌دست آمده حشره­کش پیری‌پروکسی فن روی لارو هر دو آفت بیشترین سمیت را دارد.
