Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Mortality of Anthocoris nemorum eggs in leaf tissues increased with the dosage of mephosfolan.
- Intervention effect Mortality of A. nemoralis eggs in leaf tissues increased with the dosage of mephosfolan.
- Observation Mortality was highest for anthocorid eggs laid in the leaf margins.
- Intervention effect No species showed any preference between mephosfolan-treated and untreated leaves for oviposition.
- Intervention effect Oviposition rates were unaffected by various mephosfolan dosages.
- Intervention effect Oviposition rates, larval mortality and larval development duration were unaffected by a diet of mephosfolan-killed P. humuli.
- Mechanism Mephosfolan is suggested to be unevenly distributed within leaves, most concentrated in the leaf margins.
