description | Control failure of pests and selectivity of insecticides to beneficial arthropods are key data
for the implementation of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. Therefore, the aim
of this study was to assess the control failure likelihood of Plutella xylostella and the physiological
selectivity active ingredients to parasitoid Oomyzus sokolowskii (Hymenoptera:
Eulophidae) and to predators Polybia scutellaris (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) and Lasiochilus
sp. (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae). In bioassays, P. xylostella larvae and O. sokolowskii,
P. scutellaris and Lasiochilus sp. adults were used. Concentration-mortality curves of six
insecticides for P. xylostella were established. These curves were used to estimate the mortality
of P. xylostella at the recommended concentration, in order to check a control failure
of insecticides to this pest. Furthermore, the lethal concentration for 90% of populations
(LC90) and the half of LC90 were used in bioassays with the natural enemies to determine
the selectivity of these insects to insecticides. All tested insecticides showed control failure
to P. xylostella, indicated by high LC90 and low estimated mortalities (less than 80%). The
cartap insecticide was selective in half of LC90 to Lasiochilus sp. and moderately selective in
LC90 and the half of LC90, to Lasiochilus sp. and P. scutellaris, respectively. Deltamethrin was
moderately selective in the half of LC90 to predator Lasiochilus sp. Cartap, carbaryl, and deltamethrin
reduced the mortality of Lasiochilus sp. in the half LC90. The results also showed
that the insecticides methamidophos, carbaryl, parathion methyl and permethrin were not
selective to any of the tested natural enemies. The role of insecticides in IPM systems of
Brassica crops is discussed based on their control failures to P. xylostella and selectivity to
their natural enemies. |
