Abstract The beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (Hubner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), has become a significant pest of chickpea in recent years. polyphagous nature allows it to survive on various hosts during the off-season, creating great menace crop following season. To assess incidence and document alternate S. , rapid roving survey was conducted 11 chickpea-growing areas Prakasam district, Andhra Pradesh, India. Additionally, life history traits were studied major host plants under laboratory conditions (27 ± 1 °C 70 2% RH) understand survival, expectancy potential contribution future populations. results show that, among different crops surveyed, maximum larval noticed maize (1.93 larvae/plant), cowpea (1.73 sunflower (1.68 larvae/plant) off-season.

In the United States, beet armyworm resistance to both chlorantraniliprole and bifenthrin insecticides was first reported in 2020. Here we examined fitness stability of pyrethroid since knowledge is a crucial aspect when recommending rotation with different mode action. Concentration-mortality bioassays were performed field laboratory susceptible populations. The F2, F13, F27 generations field-derived population, maintained without insecticide, exposed commercial formulations using leaf-dip bioassay method (IRAC n. 007). Insects from had components (survival, body weight, development time) documented compared by LSM each insecticide concentration tested. ratio reached 629, 80, 15-fold at F27, respectively. These results contrast an over 1000-fold all generations. population reduced chlorantraniliprole, but not bifenthrin. summary, stable no shift fitness. contrast, through kept selection pressure, likely due cost.

Spodoptera frugiperda is a major pest of maize crops. The application synthetic insecticides and the use Bt varieties are principal strategies used for its control. However, due to development pesticide resistance negative impact on environment, natural alternatives constantly being searched for. Accordingly, objective this review was evaluate essential oils (EOs) as controlling S. frugiperda. This article covers composition EOs, methods evaluation EO toxicity, effects, their mode action. Although EOs Ocimum basilicum, Piper marginatum, Lippia alba most frequently used, Ageratum conyzoides, P. septuplinervium. O. gratissimum Siparuna guianensis were shown be effective. As components these vary, then action could different. results our analysis allowed us compare potential certain control insect. In order obtain comparable when evaluating toxicity frugiperda, it important that methodological issues taken into account.
