Abstrakt: Abstract: The side effect of 20 commercial pesticides (10 insecticides/acaricides, 6 fungicides, 4 herbicides) on 6 different beneficial arthropods was tested by members of the IOBC/WPRS Working Group “Pesticides and Beneficial Arthropods” in 3 countries. The tests were done according to standardized methods based on common rules, which, among others, emphasize the reduction of the beneficial capacity as the relevant parameter for evaluation. The beneficials tested were:Trichogramma cacoeciae Marchal,Pales pavida Meig.,Phygadeuon trichops Thomson,Leptomastix dactylopii (How.),Coccygomimus turionellae (L.) andChrysopa carnea Steph. The insecticidal biopreparation Dipel, the acaricide Torque, the fungicides Nimrod, Cercobin-M, Ortho Difolatan, the herbicides Betanal and Illoxan were harmless to slightly harmful to all the natural enemies tested. These chemicals should be examined further for their possible recommendation for integrated control. Other pesticides gave less favourable results. It is hoped that the results would help other WPRS Working Groups and plant protection advisers in the development of rational control programmes.
