| Abstract: | Spodoptera exigua (Hübner) has a worldwide distribution with a high capacity for damaging a wide range of food, forage and fiber crops. It has been reported extensively from all over the world that populations of this pest species have developed field resistance against many insecticides. The objectives of this study were to determine whether an emamectin benzoate resistant field population of S. exigua re-selected with emamectin benzoate in the laboratory (Ema-SEL) showed cross-resistance to other insecticides, whether resistance was stable under laboratory conditions, and whether there were fitness costs associated with emamectin benzoate resistance. Bioassays at G1 for the field population, gave resistance ratios (RRs) of 220, 149 and 38-fold for emamectin benzoate, spinosad and lufenuron, respectively, compared with a susceptible laboratory population (Lab-PK). Resistance ratios were increased by 526-fold and 6-fold compared with Lab-PK and the unselected field population (Ema-UNSEL, G6), respectively after selection with emamectin benzoate (Ema-SEL) for five generations (G6). Selection with emamectin benzoate had no apparent effect on susceptibility of Ema-SEL to spinosad and lufenuron, instead toxicity to the latter insecticides reduced, suggesting there was no cross-resistance between these compounds. Analysis of various life history traits suggested that the Ema-SEL population had a lower overall fitness (0.38) compared with the Lab-PK (1.0). Lack of cross-resistance and the apparent instability of resistance to emamectin benzoate suggest that spinosad and lufenuron are suitable alternatives for use with emamectin benzoate in resistance management. In addition, the high relative fitness costs observed suggests that emamectin benzoate-resistant insects are at a considerable disadvantage to susceptible populations in the absence of selection pressure although this remains to be tested under field conditions. |
