Laboratory Evaluation of the Toxicity of Insecticides to Forest Insect Pests and Non-Target Insects in 1986
Problem Addressed: Use of the insecticide SAN 811-I
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Determine the persistence of a new insect growth regulator, UC 84572 in aquatic systems.
Key Findings: Permethrin appears to be 1-2 orders of magnitude more toxic than methoxychlor by either exposure route.

During the past year major studies conducted by the FPMI insecticide toxicology project have included the evaluation of a new insecticide, SAN 811-I for forest insect control, factors affecting the residual toxicity of aminocarb, and the toxicity of aqueous mixes of new formulations of MATACIL, Zectran and Sumithion to jackpine budworm, eastern hemlock looper, Douglas fir tussock moth and Choristoneura orae larvae. We have continued studies to identify potential insecticides for the control of black army cutworm and white pine weevil and initiated a new study with the debarking weevil, Hylobius congener. Finally, research has been initiated to determine the persistence of a new insect growth regulator, UC 84572 in aquatic systems.
