V.  aEffect of toxic baits used for fruit fly control against Trichogramma pretiosum and Chrysoperla externa.h[electronic resource]  c2019  aToxic  baits  are  an  important  tool  in fruit flies management; however, some beneficial insects  such  as  natural  enemies  can  be  impaired  by  this  technique.    In  this  study,  the  toxicity  of  some  se-lected  baits  on  Trichogramma  pretiosum  and  Chrys-operla externa, which are important as biological con-trol agents of fruit pests, was evaluated. Materials and methods      ?    Bioassays  were  conducted  under  labora-tory conditions (temperature of 25±2 °C, relative hu-midity 70±10% and 14 h day length) and consisted on the exposure of adults to a fine film of bait (drops with ~ 4 mm of diameter). Based on either, reduction of the parasitism capacity for T. pretiosum or mortal-ity for C. externa, thebaits were grouped in the IOBC toxicity  categories. Results  and  discussion    ?    The  mal-athion-basedbaits  composed  by  the  attractants  sug-arcane molasses (7%), Biofruit® (5%) and ANAMED®are  harmful  to  both  species  based  on  reduction  of  &gt96% in the parasitism capacity of T.  pretiosum  and  100% mortality for C.  externa.  Toxic  baits  composed  by  the  aforementioned  attractants  with  the  insecti-cide  spinosad  added,  and  the  commercial  bait  Suc-cess® 0.02   CBare harmful to T. pretiosum, with reduc-tions on parasitism capacity higher than 87%. How-ever,  these  baits  are  relatively  selective  to  C.  externa  adults, with mortality ranging from 23 to 60%. Con-clusion    ?    Based  on  the  obtained  results,  toxic  baits  with  spinosad  are  more  selective  to  predators  and  considered  a  more  ecofriendly  option  for  integrated  fruit flies management.KeywordsBrazil, fruit flies management, biological pest control, food attractants  aChrysoperla externa  aTrichogramma pretiosum  aIsca  aMosca das Frutas  aBiological pest control  aFood attractants  aFruit flies management  aIsca tóxica1 aPASINI, R.
