Summary. The larval feeding activity of Dalaca pallens (Lepidoptera: Hepialidae) reduces severely the pasture yield. A field experiment was conducted to compare the effects of Beauveria bassiana (10 12 spores/ha) and the insecticide lambda-cyhalothrin (7.5 g active ingredient/ha) on non-target predator, herbivore and decomposer guilds. Principal response curves (PRC) were performed to test the treatment effects over time and standard ANOVA was used to confirm the PRC results on some individual taxa. Soil cores and pitfall trap sampling were used to measure the abundance or activity of taxa before and several dates after spraying. Using an oat-dodine selective medium, spores in soil increased by 70% after application. Spore numbers dropped to pre-treatment levels one and two weeks in foliage and soil, respectively. The predator guild was severely disturbed by the insecticide, although no adverse effects of lambda-cyhalothrin was observed on herbivore or decomposer guilds. No guild or individual taxon was affected by B. bassiana spores. The negative effects of insecticide were present from 1 to 60 days after treatment. Several carabid species and lycosid spider populations were depressed the most. Potential consequences for natural pest control in Chilean Southern pastures are discussed. 74

Summary.<br />

The larval feeding activity of Dalaca pallens (Lepidoptera: Hepialidae) reduces severely<br />

the pasture yield. A field experiment was conducted to compare the effects of Beauveria<br />

bassiana (10 12 spores/ha) and the insectici<strong>de</strong> lambda-cyhalothrin (7.5 g active<br />

ingredient/ha) on non-target predator, herbivore and <strong>de</strong>composer guilds. Principal response<br />

curves (PRC) were performed to test the treatment effects over time and standard ANOVA<br />

was used to confirm the PRC results on some individual taxa. Soil cores and pitfall trap<br />

sampling were used to measure the abundance or activity of taxa before and several dates<br />

after spraying. Using an oat-dodine selective medium, spores in soil increased by 70% after<br />

application. Spore numbers dropped to pre-treatment levels one and two weeks in foliage<br />

<strong>de</strong>composer guilds. No guild or individual taxon was affected by B. bassiana spores. The<br />
