Abstract

The lethal and sublethal effects of chlorantraniliprole against Spodoptera exigua (Hübner) were evaluated under laboratory conditions by oral exposure of neonate larvae to the compound. The 72 h LC50 value of this insecticide to S. exigua was found to be 12.747 µg l−1. A progressive larval mortality of 24.32% for LC30 treatment and 42.61% for LC50 treatment was observed from 4th to 6th day after exposure, which resulted in the reduced pupation rates in exposure groups. The sublethal effects of this chemical were indicated by prolongation of larval period, the increase of pupal weight and decrease in hatch rate of egg. Chlorantraniliprole at LC30 and LC50 rate significantly delayed larval development; the developmental duration of surviving larvae was extended for 22.5 and 28.6%, respectively, compared with that of control group. LC30 treatment increased the mean weight of pupa and induced to the production of heavier pupa (>150 mg). In LC50 treatment, heavier pupa also showed up but the mean weight of pupa was not influenced. The egg hatch rate in LC50 group was significant lower than that in control and LC30 groups. No significant differences in pupal duration, emergence rate, sex ratio, egg number per female, and longevity of adults were observed among treatments. Chlorantraniliprole had exceptional activity against S. exigua according to concentration–response bioassay in laboratory, and the toxicities were primarily resulted from immediate lethality.
