Field treatments in a vineyard with 0.015 or 0.01% a.i. of cypermethrin, fenvalerate, fenpropathrin or AC-222,705 were more efficient in controlling the grape-berry moth (Lobesia botrana Schiff.) and the honeydew moth (Cryptoblabes gnidiella Mill.) than four standard treatments consisting of two with 0.05% a.i. fenitrothion and two with 0.075% a.i. diazinon. In pyrethroid-treated plots, infestation at the end of the trials ranged between 2.5 and 12%, compared with 21% in the standard treatment plots and 34% in the untreated plots. Cypermethrin, fenpropathrin and AC-222,705 exhibited similar field activity, while that of fenvalerate was somewhat lower. Under laboratory conditions, cypermethrin at 0.005 and 0.01% a.i. was significantly more potent than fenvalerate, fenpropathrin and AC-222,705; at a higher concentration, 0.015% a.i., all pyrethroids were highly active, with mortality ranging between 75 and 95%. Under laboratory conditions the vinegar fly (Drosophila melanogaster Meig.) was in general more susceptible to pyrethroids than was the grape-berry moth. Cypermethrin and AC-222,705 at 0.005% a.i. and avermectin at 0.0035% a.i. were potent compounds against the vinegar fly and more active than fenvalerate and fenpropathrin.  相似文献   

Antifeeding and protease- and amylase-inhibiting activity of fentin acetate in Spodoptera littoralis larvae     

K.R.S. Ascher  I. Ishaaya 《Pesticide biochemistry and physiology》1973,3(3):326-336

Fentin acetate (FA) at effective antifeedant concentrations does not have a high, immediate toxicity for 170–190 mg larvae of the Egyptian cotton leafworm (Spodoptera littoralis); the mortality of such larvae exposed to FA residues on leaves is not appreciably higher than that of larvae being starved. The antifeedant effect of FA is also not due to an influence on sensory receptors on the mouth parts. Protease and amylase are inhibited in vivo in larvae feeding on FA-treated leaves; the enzyme inhibition increases with the concentrations of the leaf-dipping suspensions. At 0.05% FA, protease and amylase activity was only about 20 and 30%, respectively, of that of the control larvae and was lower than in starved larvae.Antifeeding and enzymatic inhibition are also obtained by injecting FA into the haemocoel, results which indicate that FA does not inhibit the digestive enzymes directly, but seems to affect the enzyme production in the gut. This interpretation is strengthened by the finding that the addition of massive amounts of FA to the enzyme reaction mixture does not affect the enzyme activity.  相似文献   

Induction of prolonged larval feeding stage by juvenile hormone analogues inTribolium Castaneum     

I. Ishaaya  Sara Yablonski 《Phytoparasitica》1976,4(1):9-18

Dietary ZR-512 and ZR-619 at concentrations of 10 — 1000 ppm induced prolongation of the larval feeding period up to tenfold, increasing larval weight up to double that of untreated larvae. A comparison study of four juvenoids, using 200 ppm of ZR-512, ZR-515, ZR-619 or ZR-777, showed that ZR-515 elicits the highest larval weight (6.2 mg) and ZR-777 the lowest (3.6 mg). In all cases a pronounced enhancement of larval weight — of 50 — 250% relative to untreated larvae (2.4 mg) — was obtained.Tr. castaneum larvae reared up to their 3rd instars on a diet containing 100 ppm of ZR-512, ZR-515, ZR-619 or ZR-777 and then transferred to a juvenile hormone-free diet, were not affected. The period between 4th instar larva and pupation should therefore be considered as critical for juvenile hormone effect. The induced prolongation of the larval stage after juvenile hormone treatment was followed by a pronounced enhancement of cuticle phenoloxidase activity, indicating an alteration of the larval biochemical processes. Although juvenile hormone treatment inhibitsTr. castaneum pupation and emergence, it markedly prolongs larval feeding stage and weight and thus accelerates damage.  相似文献   

Emamectin,a novel insecticide for controlling field crop pests     

Ishaaya I  Kontsedalov S  Horowitz AR 《Pest management science》2002,58(11):1091-1095

Emamectin is a macrocyclic lactone insecticide with low toxicity to non-target organisms and the environment, and is considered an important component in pest-management programmes for controlling field crop pests. It is a powerful compound for controlling the cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner). A spray concentration of 25 mg AI litre-1 in a cotton field resulted in over 90% suppression of H armigera larvae up to day 28 after treatment, while similar mortality of the Egyptian cotton leafworm Spodoptera littoralis Boisduval, under the same conditions, was maintained for 3 days only. Emamectin is a potent compound for controlling the western flower thrips Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) under both laboratory and field conditions and its activity on adults was over 10-fold greater than that of abamectin. Spray concentrations of 10 and 50 mg AI litre-1 in Ageratum houstonianum Mill flowers resulted in total suppression of adults up to day 11 and of larvae up to day 20 after treatment. Under standard laboratory conditions, emamectin exhibits a considerable activity on the whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) and the leafminer Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard). Further studies are required to evaluate its potential activity on the latter pests under field conditions.  相似文献

Joint action of Beauveria bassiana and the insect growth regulators diflubenzuron and novaluron, on the migratory locust, Locusta migratoria

Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin and sublethal concentrations of the insect growth regulators (IGR) diflubenzuron and novaluron were applied simultaneously and sequentially to second-instar Locusta migratoria migratorioides (Sauss.) to determine the interaction between these materials and an entomopathogenic fungus. Nymphs were fed on corn leaf disks treated with several concentrations of each IGR, and a constant dose of B. bassiana was applied topically. Additive interaction was demonstrated in all instances when second-instar nymphs were exposed to diflubenzuron or novaluron simultaneously with B. bassiana treatment, and when the fungus was applied first and IGR after 48 h. Additive interaction was also exhibited when novaluron was applied first and B. bassiana after 48 h. Antagonism was demonstrated when nymphs were fed diflubenzuron-treated corn leaves first, then after 48 h were treated with B. bassiana. The additive interaction that was observed in our experiments could still be useful to achieve efficacious levels of acridid control at low rates of an IGR along with a biological control agent such as an entomopathogenic fungus.  相似文献   

Dietary TH 6040 alters composition and enzyme activity of housefly larval cuticle     

Isaac Ishaaya  John E. Casida 《Pesticide biochemistry and physiology》1974,4(4):484-490

Housefly larvae of 2 days of age were allowed to grow in media containing 0, 0.4, 1.0, or 2.5 ppm TH 6040[1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(2,6-difluorobenzoyl)-urea] for 3 days prior to analysis of the cuticle for structural components (chitin and protein) or enzymes important in cuticle formation (chitinase and phenoloxidase). As the TH 6040 concentration is increased, the amount of chitin is progressively reduced such that, at 2.5 ppm TH 6040, the level is only 25% of normal. The amount of cuticle protein is unaffected so the protein: chitin ratio increases from 3.4 in the control larvae to 14.3 in 2.5 ppm-treated larvae, an alteration which probably affects the elasticity and firmness of the endocuticle. Dietary TH 6040 at 1.0 ppm increases the cuticle chitinase activity to about 180% and the cuticle phenoloxidase activity to 155% as compared with control larvae, with a further chitinase activity increase to 240% of normal at 2.5 ppm TH 6040. These enzyme changes are expected to hamper the build-up or maintenance of the cuticle chitin and enhance sclerotization of the exocuticle.  相似文献   

The response of pyriproxyfen-resistant and susceptible Bemisia tabaci Genn (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) to pyriproxyfen and fenoxycarb alone and in combination with piperonyl butoxide     

Gregor J Devine  Isaac Ishaaya  A Rami Horowitz  Ian Denholm 《Pest management science》1999,55(4):405-411

Pyriproxyfen was effective against susceptible Bemisia tabaci eggs at a LC₅₀ of 0.003 mg litre⁻¹ and against nymphs at 0.02 mg litre⁻¹. In comparison, eggs of a laboratory selected, pyriproxyfen-resistant B tabaci strain, originating in an Israeli greenhouse, exhibited 6500-fold resistance and nymphs exhibited 1100-fold resistance. Eggs and nymphs of a strain from an Israeli sunflower field exhibited 450 and 210-fold resistance in comparison to the susceptible standard. Fenoxycarb was generally less effective than pyriproxyfen against B tabaci eggs and nymphs but was unaffected by pyriproxyfen resistance. Piperonyl butoxide (PB) was antagonistic to pyriproxyfen, and this increased with increasing pyriproxyfen resistance. PB had no effect on the toxicity of fenoxycarb. Collectively, these data imply that the modes of action of pyriproxyfen and fenoxycarb are distinct, despite the structural similarities of these molecules. Possible reasons for the antagonism of PB against pyriproxyfen are discussed. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry  相似文献   

DPX-MP062—a potent compound for controlling the Egyptian cotton leafworm Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd.)     

Uwe Pluschkell  A. Rami Horowitz  Phyllis G. Weintraub  Isaac Ishaaya 《Pest management science》1998,54(2):85-90

The effects of DPX-MP062 [methyl 7-chloro-2,3,4a,5-tetrahydro-2-[methoxycarbonyl(4-trifluoromethoxyphenyl)carbamoyl] indeno[1,2-e][1,3,4] oxadiazine-4a-carboxylate] a broad-spectrum insecticide with a novel mode of action, on the Egyptian cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis, were studied in laboratory experiments. Egg hatch was affected by high concentrations (125 mg AI litre^-1) of DPX-MP062. Larvae that hatched from treated eggs were significantly affected at concentrations of 12·5 mg AI litre^-1 and greater. Larvae were fed castor bean leaves treated with DPX-MP062; 1st-instar larvae were the most susceptible development stage. Pupation and adult formation were determined in assays with 5th-instar larvae. There was strong suppression of adult formation; 65 and 91% at 0·5 and 0·75 mg AI litre^-1, respectively. Highly affected larvae died before pupation; slightly affected ones reached pupation 2–4 days later, were smaller than larvae in the untreated control, and were sometimes unable to develop into normal adults. Comparatively high concentrations (50 and 100 mg AI litre^-1) of the test compound were necessary to affect adults by ingestion, but no effects from contact application could be determined at a concentration of 100 mg AI litre^-1. © 1998 Society of Chemical Industry  相似文献   

Inhibitory effect of the antifeeding compound AC-24,055 [4′-(3,3-dimethyl-1-triazeno) acetanilide] on digestive enzymes of Spodoptera littoralis larvae     

I. Ishaaya  K.R.S. Ascher  G. Shuval 《Pesticide biochemistry and physiology》1974,4(1):19-23

The effect of the antifeeding compound AC-24,055 on the main digestive enzymes of Spodoptera littoralis was determined. The inhibitory effect of AC-24,055 on the amylolytic and proteolytic activity increased with concentration and was well correlated with the antifeedant activity. After 3-day feeding on sugar beet leaves treated with 0.1% AC-24,055, more than 90% suppression of both amylase and protease activity was obtained, whereas at some lower concentrations a slight increase in invertase activity, especially after prolonged feeding, was observed. At 0.1% AC-24,055 the inhibition of the proteolytic activity was considerably stronger than it was in starved larvae. These results suggest that the inhibitory effect on the digestive enzymes is due not only to starvation but also to the effect of the antifeedant. Protease and amylase inhibition was obtained also by injecting AC-24,055 into the larval hemolymph. Maximum inhibition of both amylase and protease, about 50% and 25%, respectively, was reached 2 days after an injection of 5 μg AC-24,055; it then decreased gradually and was abolished 4 days after injection.Adding massive doses of AC-24,055 to the enzyme reaction mixture did not affect the in vitro activity of protease, amylase, or invertase. This indicates that AC-24,055 affects the digestive enzymes indirectly, probably by inhibiting a physiological system affecting the production of these enzymes.  相似文献
