Abstract

ABSTRACT Laboratory trials were conducted to measure the mortalities caused by six organophosphate and two pyrethroid insecticides against Ceratitis capitata (Wied.) and Anastrepha fraterculus (Wied.) adults under two systems: cover sprays and toxic baits. Differences were detected in terms of susceptibility for both fruit fly species to the insecticides. Deltamethrin and fenpropathrin sprayed on the insects presented the lowest lethal times (LT50) for C. capitata (≤ 5.2 min). Among the organophosphates, ethion and malathion were the most toxic to this species (LT50 ≤ 10.2). Fenpropathrin and malathion showed the lowest values of LT50 for A. fraterculus females (3.3 and 4.7 min, respectively) under cover spray. For C. capitata females treated with toxic baits, fenpropathrin and trichlorfon showed the lowest LT50 (< 5.0 min) and chlorpyrifos presented the highest LT50 (65.7 min). For A. fraterculus females, trichlorfon and dimethoate showed the lowest LT50s (7.9 and 8.8 min, respectively). Ceratitis capitata was more tolerant to malathion, chlorpyrifos and dimethoate thanRESUMO Ensaios de laboratório foram conduzidos para medir as os tempos para causar mortalidades a adultos de Ceratitis capitata (Wied.) e Anastrepha fraterculus (Wied.) submetidos a seis inseticidas organofosforados e dois piretróides, sob duas formas: pulverização tópica e iscas tóxicas. Foram detectadas diferenças em termos de susceptibilidade de ambas as espécies de moscas-das-frutas aos inseticidas testados. Na forma de aplicação tópica, deltametrina e fenpropatrina apresentaram os menores tempos letais (TL50s) para C. capitata (≤ 5,2 min). Entre os organofosforados, etiom e malatiom são os mais tóxicos para essa espécie. Fenpropatrina e malatiom demonstraram os menores valores de TL50 para fêmeas de A. fraterculus (3,3 min e 4,7 min, respectivamente) na forma de aplicação tópica. Para fêmeas de C. capitata tratadas com iscas tóxicas, fenpropatrina e triclorfom mostraram os menores TL50 (< 5,0 min) e clorpirifós apresentou o maior TL50 (65,7 min). Para fêmeas de A. fraterculus, triclorfom e dimetoato mostraram os menores TL50s (7,9 e 8,8 min, respectivamente). Ceratitis capitata foi mais tolerante ao malatiom, clorpirifós e dimetoato que A. fraterculus.
