Fate of 14C-Aldicarb in Parasitized Spodoptera littoralis Boisd. Larvae

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the fate of 14C-aldicarb in parasitized Spodoptera littoralis Boisd Lep.: Noctuidae larvae fed with 14C-aldicarb treated lettuce leaves. 14C-aldicarb equivalent residues were found 75.49 % , 1.14 % and 3.4 % of initially applied radioactivity in the feces of Spodoptera littoralis and cadaver, and parasitoid Chelonus oculator Panzer Hym.:Braconidae , respectively. Results showedthat aldicarb metabolized rapidly and excreted out of body by feces within 24-48 hours, before the attack of parasitoid to host organs
