Abstract The objective of this work was to study the insecticidal effect of labramin, a protein that shows lectin-like properties. Labramin was isolated from seeds of the Beach Apricot tree, Labramia bojeri A. DC ex Dubard (Ericales: Sapotaceae), and assessed against the development of the Mediterranean flour moth Ephestia kuehniella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), an important pest of stored products such as corn, wheat, rice, and flour. Results showed that labramin caused 90% larval mortality when incorporated in an artificial diet at a level of 1% (w/w). The presence of 0.25% labramin in the diet affected the larval and pupal developmental periods and the percentage of emerging adults. Treatments resulted in elevated levels of trypsin activity in midgut and fecal materials, indicating that labramin may have affected enzyme-regulatory mechanisms by perturbing peritrophic membranes in the midgut of is. kuehniella larvae. The results of dietary experiments with E. kuehniella larvae showed a reduced efficiency for the conversion of ingested and digested food, and an increase in approximate digestibility and metabolic cost. These findings suggest that labramin may hold promise as a control agent to engineer crop plants for insect resistance.  相似文献

Chlorfluazuron sprayed on cotton seedlings was more efficient than cypermethrin against third-instar larvae of the Egyptian cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis. At a concentration of 3·2 x 10−5% a.i., chlorfluazuron caused 98 ± 2% larval mortality and cypermethrin 35 ± 9%. All larvae in chlorfluazuron assays died during moulting; hence the leaf area consumed during the test instar was not appreciably affected. On the other hand, in cypermethrin assays, larvae died during the intermoult stage. Chlorfluazuron exhibited potency similar to that of cypermethrin on third-instar larvae of the grape berry moth Lobesia botrana, resulting in 90–95% and 33–34% mortality in treatment concentrations of 5 x 10−3% and 2 x 10−4% a.i., respectively. In another grapevine pest, Drosophila melanogaster, cypermethrin suppressed larval and adult formation to a greater extent than chlorfluazuron. The high potency of chlorfluazuron on various insects, together with its low toxicity to man and the environment, renders this compound a potential agent for controlling important agricultural pests.  相似文献

Grain yields of a soft white winter wheat cultivar, cv. Ionia, susceptible to cereal leaf beetle (Oulema melanopus (L.)), were determined when the crop was subjected to four controlled infestation levels of the beetle in caged plots over a 3-year period in Michigan. Although identical infestation procedures and insect numbers were used each year, the intensity of larval infestation and feeding damage varied with the year. Significant (P < 0·01) grain losses occurred in plots that had at least 9·0 larvae per stem. The greatest yield loss was 45% and occurred with 15 larvae per stem and 85% feeding damage. Beetle damage had a greater effect on kernel weight than on the other yield components. Although economic thresholds should be conservative to allow for environmental variations, it appears that soft white winter wheat can often withstand beetle infestation levels greater than the current economic threshold of three or more eggs and largae per stem before the boot stage or one or more large larvae per flag leaf during heading.  相似文献

Lepidopteran insect pest management has relied heavily on synthetic chemical pesticides, but their efficiency is declining as a result of emerging insecticide resistance. Recently biopesticides have become the most promising products employed in pest management strategies. We investigated the sublethal effects of two bioinsecticides, spinosad and emamectin benzoate, on larval and pupal development, and reproductive activity including calling behaviour, pheromone production, fecundity and fertility of the cabbage moth, Mamestra brassicae. To assess sublethal effects, second instar larvae were fed with 0.005, 0.05, or 0.5 μg a.i. spinosad/g diet or 0.00005, 0.0005, or 0.005 μg a.i. emamectin benzoate/g diet. Both bioinsecticides significantly increased larval and pupal development time and negatively affected reproductive activity of M. brassicae. The calling activity of females decreased very significantly in the highest sublethal concentration of spinosad and in all treatments by emamectin benzoate. The results suggest that, both spinosad and emamectin benzoate are promising alternatives to conventional insecticides for the control of M. brassicae if successfully introduced into Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs.  相似文献

The effect of one entomopathogenic virus (PxGV) was studied on cabbage moth Plutella xylostella with hope to find management strategies of this insect, based on biological control. Bioassay showed that, this virus has high virulence and can be considered as the important agents on the control of this insect. The LC50 value of PxGV for second instar larvae of cabbage moth was calculated 448.58 g mm(-2). The LT50 values for the same larvae with 749.89 and 1883.65 g mm(-2) doses of PxGV were 6.04 and 6.85 days, respectively.  相似文献

Chlordimeform and endosulfan were used as experimental chemicals to demonstrate the presence of behaviour-modifying properties in conventional insecticides. Their modifying effect on the adult whitely Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) was observed and quantified under field conditions. Dosages of 500–2500 g/ha of chlordimeform and 960 g/ha of endosulfan caused irritation and mass emigration of the adults from the treated cotton foliage without producing detectable direct mortality. Laboratory studies using choice-chambers confirmed the repellent effect of these two compounds. The potential usefulness of behaviour-modifying properties in controlling a prolific and intractable pest such as the whitefly is discussed on the basis of a simplified model. An ideal type of behaviour modifier should be of simple chemistry, non-lethal to the pest, and environmentally safe. It should induce only irritation and continuous mobility of the pest in order to prevent it from feeding, mating and ovipositing. This is expected to reduce the population below the economic threshold without risking rapid selection for resistance which invariably results from the direct killing action of conventional insecticides.  相似文献

Cotton bollworm (Heliothis armigera) is a major pest of cotton and other crops. It is important to understand the mechanisms of insecticide tolerance of cotton bollworm on cotton cultivars with host plant resistance to this insect pest. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of cotton pigment glands and their gossypol on the growth, development and insecticide tolerance of cotton bollworm. Three pairs of cotton isogenic lines with glanded versus glandless leaves, as well as artificial diets with 5 levels of gossypol, were used to raise cotton bollworm larvae for five generations. The growth, development and insecticide tolerance of larvae were studied. The results indicated that the cotton pigment glands and higher levels of gossypol resulted in a significant decrease in larval weights and moth eclosion rates and delayed the development of larvae and pupae. Larvae that fed on glanded cotton leaves were significantly more tolerant to two insecticides, cyhalothin and monocrotophos, than those fed on glandless cotton leaves. LD50 values were only increased where they were in amount per unit body weight, and not where were calculated in amount per individual. Also the insecticide tolerance of cotton bollworm larvae increased as the gossypol content was raised from 0 to 0.225% in artificial diets. Meanwhile, the activities of two detoxifying enzymes, carboxylesterase and glutathione s-transferase, were significantly higher in the larvae fed on glanded cotton leaves than those fed on glandless cotton leaves. The activities of two enzymes also increased greatly with the increase of gossypol content from 0 to 0.225% in artificial diets. Across 5 generations of feeding and investigation, the significant inhibition effect on larval growth and larval tolerance to two pesticides were found to be only associated with the feeding by current generation, but were not related to previous diets. The activities of two detoxifying enzymes in larvae were also not enhanced significantly when they were fed continuously on glanded cotton leaves or artificial diet with high gossypol. These results indicated that pigment glands and higher levels of gossypol not only inhibited the growth of cotton bollworm larvae but also enhanced their insecticide tolerance. However, the inhibition effect and enhanced insecticide tolerance were inducible but could not be accumulated or inherited. These results will help us better understand the interaction and co-evolution of insecticide tolerance in larvae of cotton bollworm and host chemical components, and also has provided useful information on cotton bollworm management in cotton production, especially in glandless cotton.  相似文献

Newly hatchedLeptinotarsa decemlineata larvae were less likely to initiate feeding onSolanum berthaultii than onS. tuberosum. Among larvae that fed there was no difference in the time to initiation of feeding; however, the duration of the initial feeding bout was less onS. berthaultii than onS. tuberosum. Larvae spent less time feeding and more time walking onS. berthaultii than onS. tuberosum. All larvae caged onS. tuberosum fed within 24 hours, but larvae were less likely to feed on a F6 S. tuberosum XS. berthaultii hybrid and least likely to feed onS. berthaultii. Lack of feeding during the first 24 h was highly correlated with mortality at 72 h. Whether or not larvae feed within the first five minutes of being placed on a leaflet is a reliable predictor of larval mortality at 72 h and is a useful test for determining the susceptibility of plants to feeding byL. decemlineata. The amount of trichome exudate accumulated on the tarsi over a 72 h period is correlated with resistance. Resistance ofS. berthaultii to neonateL. decemlineata is characterized by a refusal to initiate feeding and a reduced feeding rate by larvae that do feed.  相似文献

Elimination of shooly larvae increased grass yields daring the September feeding period. Increases were usually less than 10% bat in one case, where growth was abnormally slow, die increase was over 30% and in another, where the larval population was atypically dense, it was almost 60%. The effects of damage were not cumulative daring the feeding period; and at the end of this period insecticidreated plots sometimes gave lower yields than untreated plots. Fertilizer increases had a much greater effect on yield than did control of larvae and, where N was applied at 75 kg/ha (67 lb/ac) in spring, the additional effect of larval control was usually negligible. It is suggested that shoot-fly damage may be more serious in other localities. When turf containing shoot-fly larvae was ploughed, Oscinella spp. re-established themselves more successfully than others in seedling ryegrass bat did not damage the new sward appreciably.  相似文献

This study aimed to evaluate the feeding responses and digestive proteolytic and amylolytic activity of Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) on 11 corn (Zea mays L.) hybrids at 25 ± 1°C, 65 ± 5% relative humidity (RH), and a photoperiod of 16:8 (L:D) h. The fourth- and fifth-instar larvae fed on hybrid K47*K19 had the highest weight of food consumption and those reared on hybrid KSC705 had the lowest value of food consumption. The highest weight gain of the larvae was observed when H. armigera were fed hybrid KLM78*MO17 and lowest when they were fed hybrids K36 * MO17, KSC705, and K35 * K36. Pupal weight of H. armigera was heaviest when larvae were fed hybrid K47*K19 and lightest when they were fed hybrid KSC705. The highest proteolytic activity of the fourth-instar larvae was observed when they were fed hybrid KSC705, and the lowest activity was observed when they were fed hybrid K47*A67. Fifth-instar larvae that fed on hybrid K47*K19 showed the highest proteolytic activity. Fourth-instar larvae that fed on hybrid K36*MO17 showed the highest amylase activity. The fifth-instar larvae fed on hybrid K47*A67 showed the maximum amylase activity and those reared on the K48*K18 showed the minimum activity. Our results indicated that K36 * MO17, KSC705, and K48 * K18 were the most unsuitable hybrids for feeding H. armigera.  相似文献

Mechanical and insect feeding injuries of cabbage provided sites for ingress by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. In field studies, injuries sustained by hitting cabbage heads with a blunt object penetrated several leaf layers and were readily infected by S. sclerotiorum. Incidence of Sclerotinia rot ranged from 15 to 36% infected plants in the hitting treatment. Disease incidence was low (0–5%) when wounds were created by allowing lepidopterous larvae (the imported cabbageworm, Pieris rapae L., the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella L., and the cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni Hubner) to feed on cabbage leaves. The incidence of colonization of lepidopterous larvae feeding sites by S. sclerotiorum was greater in greenhouse studies (5–60% infected feeding sites) than in field studies. In greenhouse studies, disease incidence was significantly greater in plants receiving hitting injuries than tearing injuries. There was little evidence of inoculation day or injury day effects. Colonization frequency of tissue injured mechanically was similar whether wounds were inoculated immediately or 4 days later. Plants that were incubated in a dry environment developed fewer infections than plants held in a moist environment. Inoculated plants that were not injured did not develop disease.  相似文献

Seven-day laboratory bioassays with first-instar Helicoverpa armigera and Helicoverpa punctigera larvae were conducted using leaves from field-grown Bollgard II® cotton during the 2009/10 season and larval mortality and development recorded. Leaves were from three farms in the St George region and two fields on one farm at Emerald in eastern Australia. The Cry1Ac and Cry2Ab content of leaves from the same samples was determined (see Knight et al., 2013) and the relationships between Cry protein content and larval mortality and development were examined. The Cry1Ac protein content was between 3.98 and 12.08 μg/g during the growing season, while Cry2Ab content ranged between 300.6 and 953.3 μg/g. Cry1Ac and Cry2Ab content of leaves were highly correlated (r = 0.8276, P < 0.001). Seven-day mortality of H. punctigera larvae was close to 100% throughout the season. H. armigera mortality was close to 100% early in the season, but fell to ∼65% by mid-to late February in the laboratory bioassays. Fitting three-dimensional non-linear models associating Cry1Ac and Cry2Ab content with H. armigera and H. punctigera mortality elucidated the relative importance of the two proteins in determining larval mortality; for this analysis, data were pooled with data from an isoline study to provide better sampling of the three-dimensional surface being modelled. For both Helicoverpa species, the fitted mortality response to the Cry1Ac protein was close to its maximum at protein concentrations above ∼3 μg/g Cry1Ac. For H. punctigera, response to the Cry2Ab protein was close to maximal once Cry2Ab was greater than ∼200 μg/g. In contrast, the fitted H. armigera mortality response to Cry2Ab increased steadily with concentration up to ∼1200 μg/g Cry2Ab. These responses led to markedly different response surfaces for the two species; H. punctigera mortality was close to 100% at most places on the response surface, while for H. armigera the response surface showed stronger increases in mortality with concentration for Cry2Ab than for Cry1Ac. These results can be interpreted as meaning that at the plant-expressed range of concentrations in Bollgard II cotton the two proteins are approximately equally important for H. punctigera but that changes in Cry2Ab content more strongly influences changes in larval mortality in H. armigera than does Cry1Ac, with Cry1Ac contributing a consistent 40–45% mortality for concentrations above 3 μg/g. For H. armigera, there was no evidence of either synergism or antagonism between Cry1Ac and Cry2Ab proteins (P > 0.05) but this aspect was not testable for H. punctigera because mortality was mostly close to 100%.  相似文献

Repeated use of neonicotinoid insecticides has resulted in the first reported cases of Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say)) resistance to imidacloprid. In the laboratory we determined susceptibility of the imidacloprid-resistant Colorado potato beetles from a population in Southern Maine to other insecticides currently registered for use on potato. This population was about 30-fold resistant to imidacloprid and could not be effectively controlled by its applications. Control mortality was significantly higher for the imidacloprid-resistant larvae than for the susceptible larvae, suggesting that fitness disadvantages may be associated with the resistance trait. Resistant larvae exhibited significantly less mortality than susceptible larvae when exposed to cyfluthrin, carbaryl, azinphosmethyl, and methamidophos. Their susceptibility to oxamyl was also somewhat reduced, although it did provide nearly 100% mortality at the highest concentration tested. Disulfoton was highly toxic to the resistant larvae. Oxamyl killed about 40% of the adults in greenhouse assays with potted potato plants, altered their feeding behavior (fewer adults up on plants), and reduced defoliation by more than 90%. Disulfoton was not lethal to adults, but significantly suppressed their feeding. In field trials with the resistant population, oxamyl and imidacloprid + spinosad provided the best beetle control. Novaluron had no detectable effect on beetle densities. There was little difference between the plots treated with imidacloprid or thiamethoxam and the untreated control. Our results suggest that insecticide rotation may be a valuable option for managing imidacloprid-resistant Colorado potato beetle populations. We also had a good consistency between the results of the Petri dish, greenhouse, and field experiments, indicating that screening under laboratory confinement may be useful when developing initial recommendations to potato growers in areas affected by resistance to neonicotinoids.  相似文献

Spinetoram is a fermentation insecticide, derived from the actinomycete Saccharopolyspora spinosa. It works by disrupting the GABA-gated chloride channels and by causing persistent activation of insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of spinetoram for control of neonate larvae of both oriental fruit moth (OFM) Grapholita molesta (Busck) and codling moth (CM) Cydia pomonella (L.) in semi-field and laboratory trials. OFM and CM neonate larvae responded similarly to spinetoram, which showed high efficacy on both species. In semi-field experiments, regression analysis of the percentage of damaged fruits as a function of days after treatment showed a better performance of the highest spinetoram dose (10 g a.i./hl) in comparison with the maximum recommended field dose of the reference product emamectin benzoate (2.85 g a.i./hl). Surface-treated diet assays revealed LC50 values of 6.59 and 8.44 ng a.i./cm2 for neonate larvae of OFM and CM larvae, respectively. High percentages of mortality were recorded on both species after 24-h exposure to treated diet. For these reasons spinetoram could be considered a valuable tool in IPM strategies for OFM and CM control.  相似文献

Proteinase inhibitors are potential insect control agents, but insect adaptation to these compounds is one of the main limitations for their potential use as such. The velvetbean caterpillar (Anticarsia gemmatalis Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a key soybean pest species well-adapted to its prevailing (serine-) proteinase inhibitors, particularly trypsin-like inhibitors. The recognition of proteinase inhibitors with insecticidal activity towards such pest species is therefore challenging and important as a basis for the development of mimetic peptides with potential use as biorational insecticides. Thus, bis-benzamidine was tested against the velvetbean caterpillar with the expectation of greater insecticidal activity of this more potent trypsin inhibitor than the negligible effects observed with other natural and synthetic trypsin inhibitors. Bis-benzamidine ingestion by the caterpillars led to higher survival time with increased doses up to 76 ppm, but drastically reduced survival time at higher doses (over 150 ppm). Insects exposed to bis-benzamidine doses of up to 76 ppm exhibited extended larval development and decreased pupa weight. Increased doses of this trypsin inhibitor led to increased diet consumption and protein digestibility during the larval phase, but drastically compromised the proteolytic activity in the caterpillar gut. These results indicate that, unlike benzamidine, another related synthetic trypsin inhibitor, bis-benzamidine exhibits insecticidal activity towards the velvetbean caterpillars at doses as low as 9.5 ppm in the insect diet due to suppression of gut proteinase activity despite the compensatory feeding. Such compensatory feeding may however increase insect damage in the field by more tolerant individuals and should be the object of further study.  相似文献

室内测定了黄蝉花素对斜纹夜蛾幼虫的抑制生长发育活性。结果表明,黄蝉花素对斜纹夜蛾幼虫的抑制生长发育活性与其处理浓度具有一定的相关性。与对照相比,处理组食物消耗量减少,幼虫生长发育被抑制,发育历期延长。处理组幼虫在蛹期不能正常化蛹而形成畸形蛹,羽化后的成虫表现为形态畸形。在预蛹期和蛹期由于不能正常蜕皮导致死亡率较高。研究显示黄蝉花素作为一类新型的昆虫生长发育控制剂或害虫田间种群管理的先导化合物值得进一步研究。  相似文献

The male moth catches in gossyplure-baited traps were used to predict larval infestation of pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders), in cotton fields during 1988 and 1989. The mean moth catches per trap per night were positively correlated with percentage larval infestation. The moth counts in traps and larval infestation in green bolls increased with advance in reproductive stage of the cotton plants. A mean trap catch of 9–12 pink bollworm moths per night was associated with economically damaging infestation. It is, therefore, inferred that insecticidal sprays may be scheduled when 9–12 moths are captured per trap per night.  相似文献

Morphological measurements such as head-capsule (HC) width can be very useful and accessible tools that may be employed for classifying Lepidopteran larval instars according to stage of life history. The availability of such measures is crucial in the management of larval pests, because their control relies upon making accurate assessment of the life history stage at which larvae has reached in various environmental conditions. Such forecasts are then used in order to estimate the timing of emergence for future adult populations. Previous studies investigated the use of head-capsule widths from field larvae of European Grapevine Moth (EGVM), Lobesia botrana Den. and Schiff., to describe the distributions of the five instars during three generations of the insect. The observations were performed in 1998 and 2002 in a vineyard near Bordeaux. The results presented here increase the scope of earlier methods by providing statistical confidence. Our method was calibrated on a large number of individuals (N = 552) issued from our insect culture and uses a nonlinear least-squares parameter estimation to describe the distribution of each larval instar inside each generation. The model was tested on a wild larval population (n = 3007) occurring in our experimental vineyard during two complete years. The instar class ranges and boundaries were characterized with the associated probabilities of misclassification. A final classification statistical model is developed for each instar and each generation. From this study, we conclude that larval HC sizes increase statistically according to the generation of the year, and thus is influenced by grape phenology.  相似文献

向日葵品种抗向日葵螟鉴定及抗性评价方法   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
利用田间自然抗虫鉴定法连续3年在内蒙古巴彦淖尔市对56个向日葵品种进行了抗向日葵螟鉴定,结果表明,17个油葵品种中除P50表现为中抗(籽粒被害率为6.7%),其余品种全部表现为高抗,籽粒被害率均在0~2.5%;而39个食葵品种中仅新食葵7号表现为高抗(籽粒被害率为1.9%),其余多表现为感虫或高感,籽粒被害率在5.8%~54.1%。进一步利用黑色素鉴定法对所有品种进行了室内检测,其结果与田间抗虫鉴定结果基本吻合。由此认为:在进行田间自然抗虫鉴定时,宜根据田间向日葵螟成虫种群动态选择适宜的播期,使向日葵的开花期与向日葵螟成虫发生盛期尽量吻合,以提高害虫对向日葵的选择压力和鉴定结果的科学性,同时避免出现播期避害现象,干扰鉴定结果的准确性。  相似文献
