Side-effects of pesticides on larvae of Chrysoperla carnea (Neuroptera, Chrysopidae): actual state of the laboratory method

  • Chapter
Ecotoxicology

Abstract

This chapter describes the laboratory method for testing the side-effects of pesticides on Chrysoperla carnea (Neuroptera, Chrysopidae), which is the first tier within the sequential testing scheme. This would be followed by the semi-field method (Bigler and Waldburger, 1988, 1994) and then the field method (Vogt et al., 1992; Vogt, 1994) using released organisms.
