In a field study, levels of spinosad within young onion plants and in the soil around roots were monitored in addition to the cumulative number of onion seedlings killed by D. antiqua. Spinosad was detected in the soil and in both aboveground and belowground plant tissue, indicating that spinosad translocates into foliage, but declines in plant tissue and soil as plant mortality from D. antiqua feeding increases. Together, these results provide valuable insight into how spinosad protects onion seedlings and reveal key areas in need of further investigation.
