AbstractDuring initial screening of the synthetic pyrethroid lamdacyhalothrin (PP 321) at a concentration of 44 and 22 mg/l and applied as a 30 ml drench over each plant against third to fourth instar cutworms, Agrotis segetum (Denis & Schiffermüller) in microplots, few died but they did not damage the plants. Reducing the concentrations to 11 and 5.5 mg/l increased mortality and plant damage. When A. segetum were confined on soil treated with the insecticide at concentrations of 22, 11 and 5.5 mg/l and sprayed at an equivalent rate of 500 l/ha, they all died within one day. The higher concentrations appeared to have a repellent and/or antifeedant effect, and it has been possible to reduce the concentration of lamdacyhalothrin to 12.5 mg/l (≡5.6g a.i./ha) for the drench treatment without risking economic plant damage. For insecticides that have repellent and/or antifeedant properties, it should be possible to balance lower concentrations with adequate protection of plants from pest damage.

ABSTRACT The looper caterpillar Chrysodeixis includens (Walker) is considered the main defoliating pest in soybean crops, which contributes to yield losses. Delaying its resistance to insecticides is a major challenge in its management. This study aimed to characterize the susceptibility of C. includens to flubendiamide, cyantraniliprole, spinetoram and methomyl, as well as to establish a diagnostic concentration for monitoring resistance. The insecticide was applied to the surface of the artificial diet. For the dose-response curve, concentrations that resulted in 5 to 99 % mortality were used to estimate the lethal concentrations (LC50 and LC99) and resistance ratios (RR50 and RR99). The diagnostic concentrations were based on concentrations that provided 90 to 99 % mortality in the susceptible reference population. For flubendiamide and methomyl, the decrease in the susceptibility resulted in estimated RR50 of 6.2 to 24.2 and 4.4 to 19.6 times, respectively. For cyantraniliprole and spinetoram, there was little difference in susceptibility among the populations, with RR99 lower than 6.1 times. Differences in the susceptibility of C. includens were evident from concentrations of 0.5053, 5.053, 0.1579 and 28.42 μg cm-2, respectively for flubendiamide, cyantraniliprole, spinetoram and methomyl.
