A laboratory study was designed to determine the pesticide droplets deposition on leaf surfaces and its effect on parasite behavior and mortality. The rate of parasite/deposit contact increased as the number of deposits increased, even though total volume of deposit remained constant. The bioassay results indicated that mean percent mortality of Aphytis holoxanthus in the carbaryl treatment was highest on leaf discs with smaller and more abundant deposits than larger and fewer deposits.
