Abstract

Toxicities of 34 agricultural insecticides was tested against Monomorium pharaonis workers by diet dipping method. Ten insecticides among them, bifenthrin, chlorpyrifos, chlorpyrifos-methyl, cypermethrin, dichlorvos, fenthion, fenitrothion, methidathion, pirimifos-methyl, and phenthoate showed 100% rapid mortality. $LC_{50}$ (ppm) values of selected insecticides were appeared on the order of pirimifos-methyl (0.33), chlorpyrifos-methyl (0.76), phenthoate (1.70), bifenthrin (1.78), dichlorvos (2.50), cypermethrin (9.92), chlorpyrifos (22.21), fenitrothion (36.58), fenthion (40.96), and methidathion (64.34). $LT_{50}$ (day) values by diet dipping method showed that dichlorvos, benfuracarb and cypermethrin acted more rapid than boric acid and hydramethylnon. The values of the former three were 0.25, 0.38 and 0.27 days, and those of the latter two were 3.4 and 2.6 days, respectively. In persistance effect tests, chlorpyrifos-methyl, fenthion and methidathion showed over 90% insecticidal activity for 13 days.

시판되고 있는 살충제 34종과 개미전문약제 2종에 대해 독이법으로 애집개미 (Monomorium pharaonis) 일개미의 속효성 살충제를 탐색하고, 활성이 있는 약제의 독성을 비교하였다. 식이법에서 100%의 살충 속효성을 나타낸 약제로는 bifenthrin, chlorpyrifos, chlorpyrifos-methyl, cypermethrin, dichlorvos, fenthion, fenitrothion, methidathion, pirimifos-methyl, phenthoate 등 10종이었으며, 선발약제의 $LC_{50}$ (ppm) 값은 pirimifos-methyl (0.33), chlorpyrifos-methyl (0.76), phenthoate (1.70), bifenthrin (1.78), dichlorvos (2.50), cypermethrin (9.92), chlorpyrifos (22.21), fenitrothion (36.58), fenthion (40.96), methidathion (64.34) 순으로 나타났다. Dichlorvos, benfuracarb, cypermethrin의 $LT_{50}$ (일)은 각각 0.25, 0.38, 0.27로 속효성이었으며, boric acid와 hydramethylnon은 각각 3.4와 2.6로 지효성이었다. 지속효과 실험에서 처리후 13일째까지 90%이상의 살충률을 나타낸 약제는 chlorpyrifos-methyl, fenthion, methidathion이었다.
