sublethal dose of profenofos, spinosad, thiodicarb and field recommended
dose of hexaflumuron on demographic and biological parameters of H.
hebetor. Gross reproductive rate in control (68.87) was significantly
higher than insecticide treatments. The highest and the lowest gross reproductive
rate between insecticides were related to the profenofos and spinosad,
respectively. Higher intrinsic rat of increase in control (0.17) compared
with insecticide treatments indicated harmful effects of insecticides
on it. Hexaflumuron and spinosad had the highest (0.15) and the lowest
(0.1) intrinsic rate of increase between insecticides, respectively. Number
of laid eggs was significantly affected by insecticides and it was approximately
2 times more than insecticide treatments in control. In this study, hexaflumuron
had tremendous sublethal negative effects on biological parameters of
H. hebetor with no lethal effects on adult wasps. The female longevity
in control (29.41) had no significant difference with the means of profenofos
and hexaflumuron, but differences between spinosad and thiodicarb with
control was significant. Spinosad had the lowest longevity (12.79). However
hexaflumuron, profenofos and spinosad had lower generation time compared
with control and thiodicarb but differences between treatments were not
significant. Sex ratio of H. hebetor offsprings was significantly
affected by insecticides. In control, it was lowest (39.23) which indicated
that proportion of female to male was highest ( ≈ 2 time) and it
was highest in spinosad (54.94) which means that spinosad caused higher
male production in population. In all treatments, especially spinosad
and thiodicarb, increase in female age caused increase in male production.]]>Ahmad, M., M.I. Arif and M.
