Sublethal and transgenerational effects of chlorantraniliprole on biological traits of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella L.

Lethal and sublethal effects of chlorantraniliprole on Spodoptera cosmioides (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

“…Low concentrations of chlorantraniliprole can negatively affect various life cycle traits of both S. cosmioides and P. xylostella populations; in addition to direct sublethal effects, in particular slower larval development and decreased adult fecundity, transgenerational effects in F1 individuals that were never exposed to the insecticide have been reported . Thus, population declines could be the result, a key demographic parameter used to measure insecticide efficacy.…”

“…Several studies have reported that chlorantraniliprole causes sublethal effects in lepidopteran pests: Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner, 1809), Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus), Tuta absoluta (Meyrick), and Spodoptera exigua (Hübner); however, there is no report as yet on S. cosmioides .…”

Functional analysis of a point mutation in the ryanodine receptor of Plutella xylostella (L.) associated with resistance to chlorantraniliprole

“…Though the P. xylostella showed high fitness cost when treated by even very low concentrations (e.g. LC 10 or LC 25 ) of chlorantraniliprole, field populations with extremely high diamide insecticides resistance had been reported in several countries including Thailand, the Philippines and China after only two years of application . Furthermore, other lepidopterous pests, such as Choristoneura rosaceana and Spodoptera exigua, also showed the potential to develop resistance to these kind of insecticides.…”

Lethal, sublethal and transgenerational effects of the novel chiral neonicotinoid pesticide cycloxaprid on demographic and behavioral traits of Aphis gossypii (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

“…In addition to direct mortality, pesticides can induce various physiological and behavioral sublethal effects in exposed arthropods (Desneux et al ., ; Biondi et al ., ) and changes of insect population dynamics (Desneux et al ., , b; Stark et al ., ; Biondi et al ., ). Transgenerational effects and hormesis may also occur owing to exposure to pesticides (Cordeiro et al ., ; Guo et al ., ; Vilca Mallqui et al ., ; Qu et al ., ). All these effects should be considered for comprehensive assessment of potential effects that pesticides could have on insects (Tan et al ., ; Zhang et al ., ; Chen et al ., , and see Guedes et al ., for a thorough review).…”
