Improvements on Methodology for Tier I Toxicity Testing on Non-target Beneficial Insects
There has recently been an increased need for toxicity testing of microbial pesticides (OPPTS 885.4340) and bio-pesticides (OPPTS 880.4350) on non-target beneficial insects.
In this video, Dr Ming Hua Huang, Research Team Leader - Honey Bee Ecotoxicology (USA), describes in detail the key components needed for conducting these tests successfully. Some topics included are critical testing equipment, test containers, suitable organisms to use, proper testing diets, and timing of study conduct.
