The present study was carried out to evaluate the effects of the lethal dose (LC50) of abamectin and two IGRs on cotton leafworm Spodoptera littoralis from the point of biochemical aspects. The relative susceptibility of two strains of the pest (laboratory and field strains) to three insecticides; i.e., diflubenzuron, pyriproxyfen and abamectin, was tested using dipping technique. Values of the LC50 were calculated for each compound. The tolerance ratio was determined on basis of the LC50 Key Words: Carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes, IGR, bioinsecticides, Spodoptera littoralis values of the two tested strains. Obtained results revealed that the field strain exhibited different degrees of tolerance towards the three tested insecticides which can be arranged as follows: pyriproxyfen (10.5 folds), diflubenzuron (5.5 folds) and abamectin (5.3 folds). The three tested compounds caused inhibitions of trehalase and invertase activities in treated larvae during all time intervals when compared to untreated insects with exception to invertase. An increase in its activity was obtained at the last time intervals after treatment with diflubenzuron and pyriproxyfen. Both diflubenzuron and pyriproxyfen caused an increase in the amylase activity, while abamectin caused a decrease in the enzyme activity. |
