L.  aInsecticidal effects of thymol on Mahanarva spectabilis (HemipterabCercopidae) in two evaluation methodologies.h[electronic resource]  c2019  aThe objective of this study was to develop and evaluate an alternative, less laborious and reliable method for investigating the insecticidal effect of thymol on Mahanarva spectabilis (Hemiptera: Cercopidae). Two methods for evaluating the effects of thymol on M. spectabilis (conventional and alternative) were tested for optimum survival rates. The conventional method proved to be the most suitable for investigating the insecticidal effect of thymol on M. spectabilis. Thymol concentrations of 1.2, 2.5, and 5.0% resulted in the highest mortality rates of eggs, nymphs and adults, respectively. Thus, the study determined a methodology to evaluate the effects of insecticide products on spittlebugs, which indicated that thymol may be used effectively for the control of M. spectabilis.  aIntegrated pest management  aBioinsecticides  aIPM  aSpittlebugs1 aAUAD, A.
