RESUMO
Estudos de toxicidade relativa dos inseticidas organo-fosforados dissulfotom, etiom, paratiom-metílico e clorpirifós às vespas predadoras Brachygastra lecheguana Latreille, Polybia paulista Ihering e Protopolybia exigua Saussure e sua presa, o bicho-mineiro do cafeeiro Leucoptera coffeella (Guérin-Mèneville), foram realizados em condições de laboratório. As concentrações que mataram 99 por cento dos indivíduos de L. coffeella foram 0,08; 83,95; 0,43; 0,07 mg i.a/cm² para dissulfotom, etiom, paratiom-metílico e clorpirifós, respectivamente. Essas concentrações foram usadas para avaliar a seletividade destes compostos em ensaio com papel de filtro impregnado com resíduo seco dos inseticidas. Paratiom-metílico e clorpirifós foram altamente tóxicos a essas espécies de vespas predadoras, enquanto disulfotom e etiom mostraram-se seletivos em favor delas.
ABSTRACT
Studies of relative toxicity of the organophosphate insecticides disulfoton, ethion, methyl-parathion e chlorpyrifos to the predatory wasps Brachygastra lecheguana Latreille, Polybia paulista Ihering e Protopolybia exigua Saussure and their prey, the coffee leaf-miner Leucoptera coffeella (Guérin-Mèneville), were carried out in laboratory. The concentrations which killed 99 percent of individuals of L. coffeella were 0.08; 83.95; 0.43; 0.07 mg i.a/cm² of disulfoton, ethion, methyl-parathion and chlorpyrifos, respectively. These concentrations were used to assess the selectivity of insecticides in impregnated paper filter assays. Methyl-parathion and chlorpyrifos were highly toxic to these wasp species, while disulfoton and ethion were selective in their favour.
