Abstract Background Spodoptera litura (Fab.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a serious agricultural pest that infests many commercially important crops of Southeast Asian countries. Indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides has led to various health hazards as well as insecticide resistance. Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) provide an important alternative as biological control agents. Metarhizium rileyi is an EPF with a specific host range for lepidopteran pests. The present study aimed to identify virulent M. rileyi isolate against S. litura larvae and analyse their extracellular cuticle-degrading enzyme activities. Results Three M. rileyi isolates viz M. rileyi NIPHM, M. rileyi MTCC 4254 and M. rileyi MTCC 10395 formulations were evaluated at different concentrations against 2nd instar larvae of S. litura. A maximum percent mortality of 63.33% was recorded in M. rileyi NIPHM (12 g/l), followed by M. rileyi MTCC 4254 (58.33%) at the same concentration, 10 days post-treatment. Maximum means of chitinase, protease and lipase activities (0.44, 1.58 and 2.95 U/ml, respectively) were recorded in the case of M. rileyi NIPHM. Correlation analysis was positive between enzyme activity and larval mortality. Conclusions Metarhizium rileyi NIPHM recorded the highest enzymatic activity and exhibited the maximum mortality rate against 2nd instar larvae of S. litura, suggesting the possible role of these enzymes in the pathogenicity of the fungus. Further knowledge in this regard may help in the development of enzyme-based screening methods for selecting virulent fungal isolates for the eco-friendly management of crop pests.

Abstract Essential oils are well known to act as biopesticides. This research evaluated the acute toxicity and synergistic effect of essential oil compounds in combination with cypermethrin against Spodoptera litura Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). The effects of distillation extracts of essential oils from Alpinia galanga Zingiberaceae (Zingiberales) rhizomes and Ocimum basilicum Lamiaceae (Lamiales) leaves; one of their primary essential oil compounds 1,8-cineole; and linalool were studied on second-instar S. litura by topical application under laboratory conditions. The results showed that A. galanga had the highest control efficiency, whereas1,8-cineole provided a moderate efficacy. The mixtures of linalool, 1,8-cineole, O. basilicum, or A. galanga with cypermethrin were synergistic on mortality. Activity measurements of the main detoxification enzymes show that linalool and 1,8-cineole inhibit the activity of cytochromes P450 and carboxylesterases, which could explain their synergistic effect. Based on our results, the use of these mixtures represents an ideal eco-friendly approach, helping to manage cypermethrin resistance of S. litura.

ABSTRACTBioactivity of mixed seed extract of Barringtonia asiatica l. (kurz.) (lecythidaceae) and sap of Azadirachtaindica A. Juss. (meliaceae) against larvae of Spodoptera litura f. (lepidoptera: noctuidae)Barringtonia asiatica and Azadirachta indica are known to have variety of chemical compounds that haspotency to be developed as botanical pesticides. The study aimed to determine insecticidal toxicity of B.asiatica seed extract and A. indica sap and their mixture. The experiment was carried out in the Laboratoryof Pesticides and Application Technology, Department of Plant Pests and Diseases, Faculty of Agriculture,Universitas Padjadjaran. The experiments were conducted either on toxicity test of the seed extract of B.asiatica and the sap of A. indica singly or their mixture based on the comparison of LC95. Toxicity testing wasperformed using a leaf-residue feeding method on the instar I of Spodoptera litura larvae. The resultsshowed that seed extractof B.asiatica has a moderate toxicity to S.liturawith the LC50 value of 0.491% andaffected body weight of the larvae. The sap of A.indicahas had slightly low toxicity with the LC50 value of1.310%. The mixture of B. asiatica seed extract and A. Indica sap (based on ratio of 4.1%of B. asiaticacompare to 4.9% of A. Indica) has LC50 value of 0.970% (slightly low toxicity) and the LC95 value of 15.99%that was antagonistic on the LC95 level with Cotoxicity Ratio value of 0.23% on 12 days after treatment.Keywords: Cotoxicity ratio, independent joint action, Barringtonia asiatica, Azadirachta indica, SpodopteralituraABSTRAKBarringtonia asiatica dan Azadirachta indica diketahui memiliki berbagai senyawa kimia yang berpotensidikembangkan sebagai pestisida nabati.
