Abstract

Baseline responses of United Kingdom field populations of Macrosiphum euphorbiae (Thomas) and Brevicoryne brassicae (L.) to demeton-S-methyl were investigated using the FAO-recommended dip-test bioassay. Dose-response lines were produced, and discriminating doses for the two species were derived from the results (320 and 500 mg a.i./litre, respectively) and validated by testing further field populations at those single doses. Of the 1620 individuals of M. euphorbiae and 330 of B. brassicae tested, none survived the discriminating doses.
