Abstract
Plutella xylostella has become particularly notorious for its
resistance to various insecticides. The toxicities of abamectin, hexaflumuron
and indoxacarb to third instar larvae of the pest were assayed using the
leaf-dipping method. The results showed that abamectin and indoxacarb with the
lowest LC50 values exhibited stronger toxicity to larvae than hexaflumuron. To
determine the synergism of PBO, DEM, DEF and TPP on the toxicity of tested
insecticides and demonstrating possible biochemical mechanisms, an abamectin-, a
hexaflu-muron- and an indoxacarb-resistant strain of P.
xylostella were selected under laboratory conditions. After 10
generations of selection, the selected strains developed 14.21, 7.08, and
32.36-fold higher resistance to these insecticides, respectively. Abamectin
resistance in abamectin-selected strain was suppressed with the synergists such
as DEM and PBO, suggesting the involvement of monooxygeneses and glutathione
S-transferase in the development of resistance in P.
xylostella. Treatment with PBO and DEF significantly decreased the
toxicity of hexaflumuron in the hexaflumuron-selected strain. Also, in
indoxacarb-selected strain, the maximum synergism was occurred using PBO and
DEF, followed by DEM and TPP. Hexaflumuron and indoxacarb synergism studies
indicated in hexaflumuron resistance, monooxygenases and esterases, and in
indoxacarb resistance, monooxygenases, esterases and glutathione S-transferae
may be involved in the resistance mechanisms
