Toxicity of indoxacarb and spinosad to the multicolored Asian lady beetle, Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), via three routes of exposure

The use of selective insecticides may improve conservation of natural enemies and therefore contribute to the success of integrated pest management (IPM) programs. In this study, the toxicity of two commonly used selective insecticides, indoxacarb and spinosad, to the multicolored Asian lady beetle, Harmonia axyridis (Pallas), was evaluated. Third instars and adults of H. axyridis were exposed to indoxacarb at 50 and 100% of the field rate (FR), to spinosad at 100% FR and to water (untreated check) under laboratory conditions via three routes of exposure. Treatments were applied directly on insects (i.e., topical application), on Petri dishes (i.e., residues), or on soybean aphids, Aphis glycines Matsumara (i.e., treated prey). Mortality of exposed individuals in each life stage was recorded 2 and 7 days after treatment. Logistic regression indicated that indoxacarb at 100% FR, followed by indoxacarb at 50% FR, was more insecticidal than spinosad to third instars. Mortality was higher when H. axyridis were exposed to both insecticides via residues followed by treated prey. Indoxacarb at 100 or 50% FR was insecticidal to adults. Adults were tolerant to spinosad via all routes of exposure. The present results suggest that indoxacarb may decrease H. axyridis field populations by causing mortality to larvae and adults via all routes of exposure. Implications of the toxicity of indoxacarb to H. axyridis within an IPM context and possible reasons for the differences in susceptibility of H. axyridis for each route of exposure are discussed.

烟田6种常用杀虫剂对烟蚜茧蜂影响的研究

为了评估烟田常用杀虫剂对烟蚜茧蜂的安全性,本文在实验室条件下采用药膜法和浸虫法测定了6种烟田常用杀虫剂对烟蚜茧蜂（Aphidiusgifuensis）的影响。结果表明：吡虫啉、啶虫脒、噻虫嗪对烟蚜茧蜂成蜂有明显的触杀毒力,噻虫嗪和吡虫啉显著降低了烟蚜茧蜂的羽化率,且这3种杀虫剂处理僵蚜后可导致羽化出的成蜂双翅畸形; 而甲氨基阿维菌素苯甲酸盐、高效氯氟氰菊酯、吡蚜酮对烟蚜茧蜂成蜂和僵蚜均相对安全,处理1 h后成蜂死亡率为0～5.56%,僵蚜羽化率达70%以上。研究结果可为烟蚜综合防治时合理选用杀虫剂提供依据。     

Toxicity of butene-fipronil,in comparison with seven other insecticides,in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Leptinotarsa decemlineata</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Drosophila melanogaster</Emphasis>

The speed of toxic action of an insecticide is an indicator for control efficacy and has considerable practical importance. For agricultural pest control, fast-acting is an important feature for an insecticide to consistently reduce the amount of feeding damage. Butene-fipronil is a novel compound obtained via the structural modification of fipronil. However, information about the toxicity and speed of toxic action is still limited. In the present paper, we compared the toxic feature of butene-fipronil with seven other insecticides, of which imidacloprid and abamectin are slow-acting insecticides, and acephate, endosulfan, methomyl, α-cypermethrin and spinosad are fast-acting insecticides. We found that the contact and stomach toxicities of butene-fipronil were among the highest ever estimated to Leptinotarsa decemlineata and Drosophila melanogaster. The speed of toxic action of butene-fipronil was determined using median lethal time (LT₅₀) at a dose (concentration) equivalent to LD₈₀ values. For L. decemlineata, the values for butene-fipronil, imidacloprid, abamectin, acephate, endosulfan, methomyl, cypermethrin and spinosad were calculated to be 39.9, 36.5, 37.5, 20.2, 22.4, 23.8, 16.4 and 23.1 h, respectively. Those for D. melanogaster were 29.8, 31.5, 29.4, 14.0, 20.3, 18.1, 13.5, and 20.1 h, respectively. ANOVA analysis showed that butene-fipronil, imidacloprid, abamectin had similar LT₅₀ values, whereas acephate, endosulfan, methomyl, spinosad and cypermethrin had comparable LT₅₀ values. Thus, butene-fipronil belongs to slow-acting insecticides. Our results provide more empirical information for butene-fipronil potential application.     

6种杀虫剂对Q型烟粉虱的田间防治效果及抗性测定

本文测试了6种常用杀虫剂对黄瓜上Q型烟粉虱的田间防治效果,并进行室内毒力测定,以确定Q型烟粉虱对不同药剂的抗性。结果表明,施药后第3天,阿维菌素防治效果达78.8%,其次为苦参&;#8226;内酯,防效达65.1%,其他药剂防效低于45%;施药7d后,6种供试杀虫剂防效均下降到45%以下,且药剂间的差异不显著。毒力测定显示,Q型烟粉虱对6种常用杀虫剂均产生不同程度的抗性,且抗性水平高于B型。其中,Q型对高效氯氰菊酯抗性（抗性倍数47.69）显著高于B型（抗性倍数7.19）;对阿维菌素抗性则相对较低,抗性指数仅为4.40;对苦参碱、啶虫脒和吡虫啉的抗性居中（抗性倍数4.57~9.44）。     

小菜蛾对阿维菌素B_1抗药性选育及交互抗性

用阿维菌素B_1(abamectin)对小菜蛾敏感种群在室内进行抗性品系选育。经过25代连续汰选,获得抗性种群Laba-R,与选育前比较,抗性提高100倍。Laba-R种群在不接触任何药剂条件下饲养20代,抗性逐渐下降,很难恢复到选育前的敏感状态。抗性汰选前后分别测定10种药剂的剂量-死亡率毒力回归线,发现Laba-R抗性种群对乙酰甲胺磷、锐劲特、灭多威、敌敌畏不存在交互抗性;对溴氰菊酯、氯氰菊酯、杀虫双、巴丹和Bt的敏感性略有下降,但无明显交互抗性。活体增效剂试验表明,增效醚(PBO)和磷酸三苯酯(TPP)对阿维菌素B_1均有明显的增效作用,其中PBO的增效活性尤为显著,它能使对阿维菌素B_1产生100多倍抗药性的小菜蛾完全恢复其敏感性。说明多功能氧化酶解毒代谢增强可能是小菜蛾对阿维菌素B_1产生抗性的主导因素之一。     

Toxicological and mechanistic studies on neonicotinoid cross resistance in Q-type Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae)

The tobacco whitefly, Bemisia tabaci Gennadius (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) is a serious pest in numerous cropping systems and has developed a high degree of resistance against several chemical classes of insecticides. One of the latest group of insecticides introduced to the market were the neonicotinoids (chloronicotinyls), acting agonistically on insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Resistance to neonicotinoid insecticides has recently been shown to occur, especially in Q-type B tabaci in some places in Almeria, Spain, whereas control of B-type B tabaci in many other intense cropping systems worldwide has remained on high levels. Our study revealed that neonicotinoid-resistant Q-type strains from Almeria were often more than 100-fold less susceptible to thiamethoxam, acetamiprid and imidacloprid when tested in discontinuous systemic laboratory bioassays. The resistance factors were generally 2- to 3-fold lower in leaf-dip bioassays. In addition to the Spanish strains, we obtained two other highly neonicotinoid-cross-resistant B tabaci greenhouse populations, one from Italy (December 1999) and one from Germany (June 2001). A molecular diagnostic analysis revealed that both strains also belong to the (Spanish) subtype Q of the B tabaci species complex. The resistance levels of Q-type whitefly strains derived from Almeria greenhouses in 1999 remained stable for at least two years, even when maintained in the laboratory without any selection pressure. The biochemical mechanisms conferring resistance to neonicotinoids have not yet been elucidated in detail, but synergist studies suggested a possible involvement of microsomal monooxygenases. Furthermore, we checked two Almerian strains of B tabaci isolated in 1998 and 1999 and demonstrated that neonicotinoid resistance is not due to an altered [3H]imidacloprid binding site of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.

Evaluation of neonicotinoid, organophosphate and avermectin trunk injections for the management of avocado thrips in California avocado groves

BACKGROUND: Trunk injections of systemic insecticides were evaluated for the management of avocado thrips. Insecticide residues were quantified in leaves to determine when after treatment, and for how long, toxic concentrations of the insecticides were present. Residues in fruit were quantified to determine whether trunk injection of insecticides might present a greater risk than traditional application methods for contaminating fruit. RESULTS: Residues of imidacloprid and dinotefuran were at least tenfold higher in leaves when trees were treated via trunk injection compared with soil application. Dinotefuran uptake was more rapid than imidacloprid, and no residues were detected within fruit. Acephate was also mobilized very rapidly and gave good control of thrips in bioassays; however, residues of acephate and its insecticidal metabolite methamidophos were detected in the fruit for up to 4 weeks after injection. Avermectin uptake was very slow, and it was ineffective against avocado thrips. CONCLUSIONS: Trunk injections of acephate and dinotefuran permitted rapid uptake into avocados, and they are strong candidates as control methods for avocado thrips. However, residues of organophosphates in fruit could necessitate increased preharvest intervals. Residues of neonicotinoids were below detection limits in fruit, suggesting that neonicotinoids may be the more suitable control option of the two chemical classes.

不同杀虫剂对烟蓟马的室内毒力与田间防效

烟蓟马是一种世界性害虫,为筛选出高效低毒的药剂,采用叶管药膜法测定了不同药剂对烟蓟马的室内毒力,并开展了田间防效试验。室内毒力测定结果表明,对成虫活性最高的药剂是阿维菌素、乙基多杀菌素和虫螨腈,其LC₅₀均小于1 mg/L;多杀霉素的毒力也较高,其LC₅₀为2.11 mg/L;吡丙醚对2龄若虫表现较高毒力。田间试验结果表明,2.5%高效氯氟氰菊酯SC、10%虫螨腈SC和60 g/L乙基多杀菌素SC对烟蓟马药后3~14 d的防效均达90%以上,除100 g/L吡丙醚SC外,其他药剂药后14 d的防效均达80%以上。2.5%高效氯氟氰菊酯SC、10%虫螨腈SC和60 g/L乙基多杀菌素SC可作为防治烟蓟马的首选药剂,并交替使用其他药剂。     

吡虫啉的不同施药方式对丽蚜小蜂的寄生效果评价

烟粉虱Q隐种是近几年新传入我国的入侵烟粉虱,主要危害蔬菜、棉花和花卉等经济作物,对多种化学农药都产生了很高的抗药性。为了了解吡虫啉不同施药方式对丽蚜小蜂控制烟粉虱效果的影响,本研究在实验室条件下,调查了经吡虫啉叶面处理和灌根处理两种不同施药方式处理,烟粉虱Q隐种的存活率、丽蚜小蜂的存活率和寄生率。结果表明：1、5、10、50mg·L^-1。浓度吡虫啉灌根处理的丽蚜小蜂校正死亡率分别为21．8％、14．9％、19．3％、16．2％;1、5、50mg·L^-1浓度吡虫啉叶面处理的丽蚜小蜂校正死亡率分别为52．2％、81．8％、93-3％。相同浓度的吡虫啉处理中,叶面处理的丽蚜小蜂死亡率显著高于灌根处理;在吡虫啉和丽蚜小蜂协同作用中,用浓度5、10、50mg·L^-1的吡虫啉灌根处理时,烟粉虱的死亡率分别为41．5％、39．1％、45．9％,丽蚜小蜂寄生率分别为11．9％、15．9％、7．9％;用浓度5、50mg·L^-1的吡虫啉叶面处理时,烟粉虱的死亡率分别为12．6％、37.2％,丽蚜小蜂寄生率均为2％左右。灌根处理对寄生蜂的存活率影响较小,且有利于丽蚜小蜂对烟粉虱的寄生和取食;而叶面处理显著降低了寄生蜂的存活率及寄生率。

烟粉虱细胞色素CYP6EM1基因的克隆及对吡虫啉抗性的作用

烟粉虱是一种世界性农业害虫,其防治手段以化学防治为主,新烟碱类杀虫剂吡虫啉常年用于防治烟粉虱,田间烟粉虱已经形成严重的抗药性。本研究通过分析烟粉虱吡虫啉抗性和敏感种群,发现细胞色素CYP6EM1基因在吡虫啉抗性品系中上调了4.7倍,进而克隆了其全长基因,进行了荧光定量PCR分析,发现该基因在吡虫啉抗性烟粉虱3龄若虫期和雄虫成虫期过量表达,并且在抗性成虫胸部和腹部过量表达。最后通过RNA干扰的方法使成虫的CYP6EM1基因表达量下降了54.8%,之后发现当烟粉虱暴露于吡虫啉时死亡率显著升高了39.65%,这表明CYP6EM1与烟粉虱对吡虫啉抗性的形成相关。研究结果对于揭示烟粉虱对吡虫啉产生抗性的机制有帮助,也为烟粉虱抗性水平田间监测及烟粉虱综合治理提供理论依据。     

低剂量啶虫脒和双丙环虫酯对棉蚜茧蜂寄生功能的影响

为明确低剂量化学杀虫剂对寄生性天敌昆虫的影响，以棉蚜茧蜂为对象，测定了常用杀虫剂啶虫脒和新型杀虫剂双丙环虫酯在LC₅和LC₃₀剂量下对棉蚜茧蜂寄生功能反应的影响。结果表明:啶虫脒和双丙环虫酯对棉蚜的LC₅₀值分别为442.6和1.67 mg/L，对棉蚜茧蜂的LD₅₀值分别为0.007和20.58 μg/cm2。经低剂量的2种杀虫剂处理后，棉蚜茧蜂寄生量与棉蚜密度呈负加速曲线，随棉蚜密度的增加棉蚜茧蜂寄生量逐渐增大，最终趋于平缓。模型拟合结果表明，寄生功能反应模型的基本结构仍然属于Holling-Ⅱ模型，但模型的各项参数均发生了改变。在棉蚜密度为20、40和100 头/皿时，除LC₅剂量双丙环虫酯处理棉蚜 (间接处理) 组棉蚜茧蜂的寄生量与对照组无显著差异外，其他各药剂处理组的寄生量均显著低于对照组，其中LD₃₀剂量啶虫脒直接处理棉蚜茧蜂对其寄生能力的抑制作用最强。经低剂量药剂间接处理后，棉蚜茧蜂处理每头棉蚜所用的时间与对照相比均显著延长，且药剂处理组的最大日寄生量均显著低于对照组。此外，低剂量的啶虫脒和双丙环虫酯均能显著抑制棉蚜茧蜂的寻找效应。研究表明，低剂量啶虫脒和双丙环虫酯对棉蚜茧蜂的寄生作用存在负面影响，这对保护和利用天敌以及指导农药科学合理使用均具有重要参考意义。

Toxicities and sublethal effects of seven neonicotinoid insecticides on survival, growth and reproduction of imidacloprid-resistant cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii

BACKGROUND: Imidacloprid has been a major neonicotinoid insecticide for controlling Aphis gossypii (Glover) (Homoptera: Aphididae) and other piercing–sucking pests. However, the resistance to imidacloprid has been recorded in many target insects. At the same time, cross‐resistance of imidacloprid and other insecticides, especially neonicotinoid insecticides, has been detected. RESULTS: Results showed that the level of cross‐resistance was different between imidacloprid and tested neonicotinoid insecticides (no cross‐resistance: dinotefuran, thiamethoxam and clothianidin; a 3.68–5.79‐fold cross‐resistance: acetamiprid, nitenpyram and thiacloprid). In the study of sublethal effects, imidacloprid at LC₂₀ doses could suppress weight gain and honeydew excretion, but showed no significant effects on longevity and fecundity of the imidacloprid‐resistant cotton aphid, A. gossypii. However, other neonicotinoid insecticides showed significant adverse effects on biological characteristics (body weight, honeydew excretion, longevity and fecundity) in the order of dinotefuran > thiamethoxam and clothianidin > nitenpyram > thiacloprid and acetamiprid. CONCLUSION: The results indicated that dinotefuran is the most effective insecticide for use against imidacloprid‐resistant A. gossypii. To avoid further resistance development, the use of nitenpyram, acetamiprid and thiacloprid should be avoided on imidacloprid‐resistant populations of A. gossypii.

Biological characterization of sulfoxaflor, a novel insecticide

BACKGROUND: The commercialization of new insecticides is important for ensuring that multiple effective product choices are available. In particular, new insecticides that exhibit high potency and lack insecticidal cross‐resistance are particularly useful in insecticide resistance management (IRM) programs. Sulfoxaflor possesses these characteristics and is the first compound under development from the novel sulfoxamine class of insecticides. RESULTS: In the laboratory, sulfoxaflor demonstrated high levels of insecticidal potency against a broad range of sap‐feeding insect species. The potency of sulfoxaflor was comparable with that of commercial products, including neonicotinoids, for the control of a wide range of aphids, whiteflies (Homoptera) and true bugs (Heteroptera). Sulfoxaflor performed equally well in the laboratory against both insecticide‐susceptible and insecticide‐resistant populations of sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci Gennadius, and brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Stål), including populations resistant to the neonicotinoid insecticide imidacloprid. These laboratory efficacy trends were confirmed in field trials from multiple geographies and crops, and in populations of insects with histories of repeated exposure to insecticides. In particular, a sulfoxaflor use rate of 25 g ha^?1 against cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii Glover) outperformed acetamiprid (25 g ha^?1) and dicrotophos (560 g ha^?1). Sulfoxaflor (50 g ha^?1) provided a control of sweetpotato whitefly equivalent to that of acetamiprid (75 g ha^?1) and imidacloprid (50 g ha^?1) and better than that of thiamethoxam (50 g ha^?1). CONCLUSION: The novel chemistry of sulfoxaflor, its unique biological spectrum of activity and its lack of cross‐resistance highlight the potential of sulfoxaflor as an important new tool for the control of sap‐feeding insect pests.
