A method for testing the toxicity of residues of pesticides on a standardized substrate of erigonid and linyphiid spiders

Methods have been developed for rearing Oedothorax apicatus (Aranaea, Erigonidae) and for testing of the initial toxicity of residues of pesticides to spiders of this and related species (Erigonidae, Linyphiidae) according to IOBC/WPRS standards. Deltamethrin, fenitrothion and maneb appeared to be h...

Summary:Methods have been developed for rearing Oedothorax apicatus (Aranaea, Erigonidae) and for testing of the initial toxicity of residues of pesticides to spiders of this and related species (Erigonidae, Linyphiidae) according to IOBC/WPRS standards. Deltamethrin, fenitrothion and maneb appeared to be harmless to moderately harmful to males and females of O. apicatus in a preliminary initial toxicity test using this method
