Abstract
The toxicity of the fungicides captan, dodine, mancozeb, metiram and m yclobutanil to adults, nymphs and 0-24 h eggs of Amblyseius fallacis w as evaluated in the laboratory. Dodine and mancozeb reduced egg hatch significantly in comparison with water controls and dodine was the mos t toxic to the nymphs. Captan and metiram had no effect and the remain ing fungicides were of intermediate toxicity. None of the fungicides a ffected the longevity and the fecundity of young females.
