Results of laboratory studies indicated that the used insecticides (Supracide®, Nogos®, Diazinon®, and Ekatin®, were deadly to the aphid–parasite (A. tronscaspicus Telenga) which was very sensitive even to the low concentrations of the insecticide residues, while individuals inside the mummified aphid that directly exposed to the spray were unaffected except upon contact with residues after eclosion from the mummified aphid. Also, coccinellid popae (Coccinella septempunctata L.) were shown to be highly tolerant as compared with larvae and adults in the direct exposure for deadly concentrations of the insecticides to the aphids. Results also indicated that Ekatim® and Nogos®, respectively, have selective toxicity to the aphid rather than to the coccinellid predator, whereas supracide® and Diazinon® were very toxic to the aphid and their natural enemies as well.
