The performance of compounds from several new insecticide classes, Neonicotinoid, Oxadiazine, Particle Film and the Naturalyte (i.e; Azadirachtin), were tested on two scarab species, the rose chafer, Macrodactylus subspinosus (F.) and Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica (Newman) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae). Single dose field-based bioassays were used to measure lethal and sub-lethal effects on adults exposed to progressively aged treatment residues on peach and blueberry foliage.
