Abstract

This study was performed to evaluate the acute toxicity and residual toxicity of the 69 kinds of agrochemicals (41 insecticides, 18 fungicides, and 10 acaricides) against honeybee, Apis mellifera and bumblebee, Bombus terrestris. According to the IOBC standard, the toxicity showed below 30% was classified as non-toxic. Among 41 insecticides, five insecticides (acetamiprid, chlorfenapyr, thiacloprid, milbemectin, and buprofezin+amitraz) against the honeybee; eight insecticides (methomyl, thiodicarb, acetamiprid, chlorfenapyr, thiacloprid, abamectin, spino sad, buprofezin+amitraz) against the bumblebee did not show any toxic effect. Therefore, it thought to being safe. Other 18 fungicides and 10 acaricides were safe against the honeybee and bumblebee. In residual toxicity against the honeybee, eight insecticides (dichlorvos, methomyl, imidachlorprid, emamectin benzoate, spinosad, cartap hydrochloride, chlorfenapyr, and endosulfan) among 41 insecticides tested were safe at three days after treatment; however, sixteen insecticides (dimethoate, fenitrothion, fenthion, methidathion, phenthoate, pyraclofos, fenpropathrin, clothianidin, dinotefuran, thiamethoxam, abamectin, acetamiprid+ethofenprox, acetamiprid+indoxacarb, bifenthrin+imidacloprid, ethofenprox+phenthoate, imidacloprid+methiocarb) still remain high toxicity at eleven days after treatment. Against the bumblebee, residual toxicity showed as safe in seven insecticides (dimethoate, methidation, a-cypermethion, ethofenprox, indoxcarb, chlorpyrifos+a-cypennethrin, esfenvalerate+fenitrochion) at three days after treatment; however, eight insecticides (fenitrothion, pyraclofos, clothianidin, fipronil, acetamiprid+ethofenprox, chlorpyrifos+bifenthrin, ethofenprox+phenthoate, imidacloprid+methiocarb) still showed high toxicity at seven days after treatment. From above results, it will be useful information to select insecticides being safe and effective against the honeybee and bumblebee.

본 연구는 69종의 농약(살충제 41종, 살균제 18종, 살비제 10종)에 대한 꿀벌(A. mellifera)과 서양뒤영벌(B. terrestris)에 급성독성과 잔류독성을 평가하였으며, 국제 생물적 방제기구(IOBC)의 기준에 따라 30% 이하를 독성이 없음으로 분류하였다. 급성독성실험에서 41종의 살충제 중에 acetamiprid, chlorfenapyr, thiacloprid, milbemectin, buprofezin+amitraz 5종이 꿀벌에, methomyl, thiodicarb, acetamiprid, chlorfenapyr, thiacloprid, abamectin, spinosad, buprofezin+amitraz 8종은 서양뒤영벌에 대해서 독성이 낮아 안전하였다. 그리고 살균제 18종과 살비제 10종은 꿀벌과 서양뒤영벌에 대해 모두 안전하였다. 잔류독성실험에서 41종의 살충제 중 꿀벌에 대해서 약제처리 3일 이후부터 안전한 약제는 8종 (dichlorvos, methomyl, imidachlorprid, emamectin benzoate, spinosad, cartap hydrochloride, chlorfenapyr, endosulfan) 이고, 11일차까지도 독성이 높은 약제는 16종(dimethoate, fenitrothion, fenthion, methidathion, phenthoate, pyraclofos, fenpropathrin, clothiamdin, dinotefuran, thiamethoxam, abamectin, acetamiprid+ethofenprox, acetamiprid+indoxacarb, bifenthrin+midacloprid, ethofenprox+phenthoate, imidacloprid+methiocarb)이었다. 서양뒤영벌에 대해서는 약제처리 3일 이 후부터 안전한 약제는 8종(dimethoate, methidation, a-cypermethion, ethofenprox, indoxcarb, chlorpyrifos+a-cypennethrin, esfenvalerate+ fenitrochion)이고, 7일차까지도 높은 독성을 나타낸 약제는 8종(pyraclofos, clothianidin, thiamethoxam, fipronil, acetamiprid+ethofenprox, chlorpyrifos+bifenthrin, ethofenprox+phenthoate, imidacloprid+methiocarb)이었다.
