Exposure to Cyantraniliprole Adversely Impacts Fitness of : Acute Toxicity and Sublethal Effects on Development, Fecundity and Antioxidant Responses.

Extensive utilization of pesticides and their persistent residues inadvertently pose threats to the effectiveness and fitness of biocontrol agents in agroecosystems. However, these ecological consequences are generally disregarded when executing integrated pest management strategies (IPM). Cyantraniliprole (CNAP) serves as a wide-spectrum diamide insecticide and its sublethal effects have been well characterized on multiple insect pests, whereas its impacts on beneficial natural enemies remain unfathomed.

Identification and detection of the V1848I indoxacarb resistance mutation in the beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua.

Indoxacarb is a pivotal insecticide used worldwide to manage Spodoptera exigua, a devastating agricultural pest. This active compound plays a crucial role in resistance management strategies due to its distinctive mode of action. A field population of S.

Toxicological effects induced by two carbamates on earthworms (Eisenia fetida): Acute toxicity, arrested regeneration and underlying mechanisms.

Eisenia fetida is recognised as advantageous model species in ecotoxicological and regeneration investigations. The intensive utilization of carbamate pesticides (CARs) imposes heavy residue burdens and grave hazards on edaphic environments as well as soil fauna therein. However, precise mechanisms whereby the specific CAR exerted toxic effects on earthworms remain largely elusive, notably from regenerative perspective.

High frequency of ryanodine receptor and cytochrome P450 CYP9A186 mutations in insecticide-resistant field populations of Spodoptera exigua from China.

The beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua is a global agricultural pest that is polyphagous, highly dispersive, and often difficult to control due to resistance to many insecticides. Previous studies showed that a target site mutation in the S. exigua ryanodine receptor (SeRyR) corresponding to I4743M contributes approximately 20-fold resistance to chlorantraniliprole, whereas a mutation in the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP9A186 corresponding to F116V confers 200-fold to emamectin benzoate through enhanced metabolic detoxification.

Associations between acetylcholinesterase-1 mutations and chlorpyrifos resistance in beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua.

Control of the beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua depends heavily on chemical insecticides. Chlorpyrifos, an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor, has been used in beet armyworm control for many years in China. Here we describe high level resistance to chlorpyrifos in a S.

Effects of insecticides on malacostraca when managing diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) in combination planting-rearing fields.

The combination of crop planting and animal rearing in the same area is popular. However, if the methods of planting and rearing are not appropriate, it will result in losses and the disruption of pest management. The toxicities of 17 insecticides to Plutella xylostella, Eriocheir sinensis, and Procambarus clarkii were tested.

Assessing the risk of insecticides to Actinopterygii in the combination of ecological planting and rearing.

In order to study the co-existing environment of pests and economic animals, the toxicity of 15 insecticides to Plutella xylostella, Monopterus albus, and Paramisgurnus dabryanus was tested. Combined with the recommended maximum doses in the field and bioassay, the results showed that for the three insecticides that were of relatively low toxicity to M. albus and P.

Evaluation of the sublethal effect of tetrachlorantraniliprole on Spodoptera exigua and its potential toxicity to two non-target organisms.

Tetrachlorantraniliprole (TCAP) is a novel anthranilic diamide insecticide that specifically targets the ryanodine receptors of lepidopteran insect species with excellent insecticidal activity. Previous studies have reported the sublethal effects of multiple diamides on several lepidopteran species, whereas the sublethal and non-target effects of TCAP remain largely unknown. We assessed the sublethal effects of TCAP on Spodoptera exigua.

Mechanism of the different metabolome responses between Plutella xylostella and Pieris rapae treated with the diamide insecticides.

Diamide insecticides, such as chlorantraniliprole, cyantraniliprole, and tetrachlorantraniliprole, are a new class of insecticides that selectively target insects by affecting calcium homeostasis. While this class of insecticides are effective on a wide range of insect pests, the toxicities of diamide insecticides vary among species and life stages. In this study, we addressed the mechanism underlying the different responses of Plutella xylostella and Pieris rapae to diamide insecticides.

The Toxicity and Detoxifying Mechanism of Cycloxaprid and Buprofezin in Controlling Sogatella furcifera (Homoptera: Delphacidae).

The effects of cycloxaprid (a modified neonicotinoid insecticide) and buprofezin (a thiadiazine insecticide) on mortality of the white-backed planthopper (WBPH), Sogatella furcifera, were determined in laboratory assays. Cycloxaprid killed WBPH nymphs and adults but buprofezin killed only nymphs, and cycloxaprid acted faster than buprofezin. One day after infestation, mortality of third-instar nymphs was >65% with cycloxaprid at 125 mg liter(-1) but was <38% with buprofezin at 148 mg liter(-1).

Induction effects of host plants on insecticide susceptibility and detoxification enzymes of Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae).

Background: The polyphagous B-biotype Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) has developed a high resistance to commonly used insecticides in China. To illustrate the induced changes by host plant, bioassay and biochemical research on five different host populations were investigated.

Results: Except for bifenthrin, all tested insecticides showed lower toxicity to the B.
