Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness and toxicity of the insecticides spinosad and deltamethrin on the olive fly (Bactrocera oleae) and fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster).
- Results showed both insecticides were very effective against B. oleae, with spinosad being significantly more toxic to D. melanogaster compared to deltamethrin.
- The research found no genotoxic effects from either pesticide under the conditions tested, implying a relatively safe profile for these insecticides in pest management.
