Abstract

Laboratory, semi field and field tests to assess the side effects of 20 pesticides on 19 different beneficial organisms were carried out by members of the Working Group “Pesticides and Beneficial Organisms” of the International Organization for Biological Control (IOBC), West Palearctic Regional Section (WPRS). This 5th joint pesticide testing programme of the working group was carried out by 21 participants in 11 European countries. The pesticides (7 insecticides, 8 fungicides and 5 herbicides), that were chosen for their possible selectivity, were tested according to internationally approved principles.

Among the 20 preparations tested, the insecticides Apollo SOSC, Cesar S.L., the fungicides Baycor, Delan flüssig, Vitigran, Impact, Rovral PM, and the herbicides Luxan 2,4-D amine, Ally and Dirigol-N were harmless to nearly all the beneficial organisms tested and are recommended for use in integrated control programmes. The further testing of the remaining 10 preparations is recommended.

The activities of the working group to complete the development of urgently needed sequential procedure to test the side effects of pesticides on beneficial organisms based on standard laboratory, semi field and field methods and the need for more international cooperation are discussed.

Résumé

Les essais de tous niveaux (depuis le laboratoire jusqu'au plein champ) pour établir les effets de 20 pesticides sur 19 organismes utiles différents, ont été menés par les membres du groupe de travail «Pesticides et Organismes utiles» de l'OILB/SROP. Ce 5e programme coordonné d'essais pesticides a été réalisé par 21 participants appartenant à 11 pays européens. Les pesticides (7 insecticides, 8 fongicides et 5 herbicides) qui furent choisis en fonction de leur sélectivité possible ont été essayés selon les principes internationaux approuvés.

Parmi les 20 préparations essayées les acaricides Appolo SOSC, Cesa S.KL.; les fongicides Baycor, Delan, Vitigran, Impact, Rovral PM et les herbicides Luxan 2,4-D amine, Ally et Dirigol-N furent sans danger pour presque tous les organismes utiles essayés et furent recommandés pour les programmes de Lutte Intégrée. L'essai ultérieur des 10 préparations restantes est recommandé.

Les activités du groupe de travail pour terminer le développement d'une procédure urgente pour contrôler les effets secondaires des pesticides sur les organismes utiles et la nécessité d'une coopération plus internationale sont discutées.
