为了探讨氯虫苯甲酰胺对亚洲玉米螟Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée)的抗性风险评估, 为科学使用氯虫苯甲酰胺防治亚洲玉米螟提供理论基础, 本研究在实验室条件下采用饲料混毒法测定了新型杀虫剂氯虫苯甲酰胺对亚洲玉米螟的毒力, 利用生命表技术研究了氯虫苯甲酰胺对亚洲玉米螟 3龄幼虫的亚致死效应。结果表明： 氯虫苯甲酰胺对亚洲玉米螟3龄幼虫的LC₁₀, LC₄₀ 和LC₅₀分别为0.038, 0.098 和0.123 mg a. i. /L。以氯虫苯甲酰胺LC₁₀和LC₄₀剂量分别处理亚州玉米螟3龄幼虫后, 幼虫和蛹的发育历期明显延长, 成虫寿命缩短, 产卵量也显著降低, 但对蛹重（雌： P=0.337, 雄： P=0.121）、卵孵化率（P=0.087）和性比（P=0.379）无显著影响。处理种群的净增值率（R₀）、内禀增长率（r_m）和周限增长率（λ）显著低于对照种群（P<0.0001）。结果提示, 氯虫苯甲酰胺的亚致死浓度可降低亚洲玉米螟的种群增长。     

甲氰菊酯和阿维菌素对柑橘全爪螨的亚致死效应

通过叶碟饲养的方法, 利用生命表技术,研究了甲氰菊酯和阿维菌素亚致死剂量LC₂₀处理柑橘全爪螨若螨后,对试验种群当代(F₀)和后代(F₁、F₂代)生长发育及繁殖的影响.结果表明: 甲氰菊酯LC₂₀处理若螨后,当代雌成螨产卵量显著增加;F₁、F₂代的产卵前期缩短,后代雌性比例增大,且均与对照差异显著;同时,F₁和F₂代种群内禀增长率(r_m)和周限增长率(λ)增大,世代历期(T)和种群加倍时间(Dt)缩短,且F₂代与对照相比差异显著.用阿维菌素LC₂₀处理若螨后,当代种群雌成螨产卵量显著下降; F₁和F₂代的产卵量也显著下降,但后代雌性比例增大,产卵前期显著缩短;F₁和F₂代的种群r_m和λ增大,T和Dt缩短,且F₂代比F₁代更为明显.总体来看,甲氰菊酯和阿维菌素亚致死浓度LC₂₀对柑橘全爪螨的影响并不完全相同,甲氰菊酯能够促进当代种群的发展,而阿维菌素对当代种群有一定的抑制作用;但两种杀螨剂亚致死浓度处理柑橘全爪螨对后代种群都有一定的促进作用.研究结果对柑橘全爪螨综合防治策略的制定有一定的指导意义.     

低致死剂量氯虫苯甲酰胺对沟金针虫食物利用和相关生理生化指标的剂量和时间效应

【目的】明确氯虫苯甲酰胺对沟金针虫Pleonomus canaliculatus亚致死效应的生理生化机制,阐明氯虫苯甲酰胺低致死剂量对沟金针虫食物利用、能量物质含量以及体内消化酶、保护酶和解毒酶活力的影响。【方法】室内采用土壤混药法测定氯虫苯甲酰胺对沟金针虫3龄幼虫毒力,并测定了氯虫苯甲酰胺LC₁₀, LC₂₅和LC₄₀低致死剂量对沟金针虫3龄幼虫营养指标和体内能量物质含量的影响;采用酶动力学法检测了氯虫苯甲酰胺低致死剂量处理1, 6, 12, 24, 48和72 h后沟金针虫3龄幼虫体内消化酶(蛋白酶、α-淀粉酶、脂肪酶、海藻糖酶)、保护酶(CAT, POD和SOD)以及解毒酶(CarE, MFO和GST)活力的动态变化。【结果】氯虫苯甲酰胺对沟金针虫3龄幼虫有较高毒力,其LC₅₀值为1.2397 mg/kg。LC₁₀和LC₄₀剂量氯虫苯甲酰胺处理沟金针虫3龄幼虫后,平均相对生长率(MRGR)和近似消化率(AD)显著降低,严重干扰其对食物的利用;LC₁₀, LC₂₅和LC₄₀剂量处理后沟金针虫3龄幼虫体内主要的能量物质(蛋白质、脂质、碳水化合物、海藻糖)含量和消化酶活力均明显降低,而解毒酶和保护酶活力显著增加,最终延缓其生长发育。【结论】氯虫苯甲酰胺对沟金针虫幼虫具有很高的杀虫活性,低致死剂量氯虫苯甲酰胺处理沟金针虫幼虫后,通过抑制消化酶活性,使其对食物的利用能力降低和生长发育延缓,以及诱导解毒酶和保护酶活性来阻止外界毒物侵害。研究结果为阐明氯虫苯甲酰胺对沟金针虫的亚致死效应机制及作用机理提供了一定的理论基础。

Sublethal effects of abamectin on the development,fecundity, and wing morphs of the brown planthopper Nilaparvata lugens

The brown planthopper Nilaparvata lugens negatively affects rice yield by sucking nutrients from the rice stem and spreading viruses. In this study, the effects of sublethal concentrations of abamectin on development, fecundity, and wing morphs of N. lugens were investigated. Treatment with sublethal concentrations of abamectin showed no significant effects on the developmental period of F₀ nymphs. Although LC₁₀ and LC₂₅ treatments resulted in 10% and 25% mortality, the LC₂₅ treatment significantly prolonged the lifespan of macropterous and brachypterous females. Abamectin-treated brachypterous females showed significantly lower fecundity than control females. Furthermore, abamectin treatment showed no significant effects on the developmental period of F₁ nymphs. However, LC₂₅ treatment significantly inhibited the fecundity of brachypterous F₁ females and significantly reduced the proportion of macropterous F₁ females and brachypterous F₁ males. LC₂₅ treatment showed no significant effects on the fecundity of macropterous F₁ females. Considering the proportion of macropterous and brachypterous F₁ females, the relative fitness of the macropterous F₁ nymphs in the control, LC₁₀, and LC₂₅ treatment groups was 1, 1.02, and 0.84, respectively, and that of brachypterous F₁ nymphs was 1, 0.79, and 0.93, respectively. Sublethal concentrations of abamectin inhibited N. lugens emergence. The present findings indicate the potential of abamectin for N. lugens field control.     

Sublethal effects of buprofezin on development,reproduction, and chitin synthase 1 gene (SfCHS1) expression in the white-backed planthopper,Sogatella furcifera (Hemiptera: Delphacidae)

The white-backed planthopper, Sogatella furcifera (Horváth) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae), is a major rice pest in some Asia-Pacific countries. Buprofezin is an insect growth regulator with relatively low mammalian toxicity but high efficacy to many rice pests. In this study, we estimated the toxicity of buprofezin against 3rd-instar nymphs of S. furcifera using the rice-stem dipping method. The results showed that the LC₅₀ of buprofezin to 3rd-instar nymphs were 0.89?mg/L. When 3rd-instar nymphs were exposed to the LC₁₀ and LC₂₅ (0.10 and 0.28?mg/L) of buprofezin, the duration of juvenile development was significantly prolonged in the F₀ and F₁ generations. The fecundity (eggs per female) of the F₁ females was reduced by 5.29% and 12.34%, respectively, in addition to the survival rate, emergence rate, copulation rate, and hatchability were decreased by treatment with buprofezin at LC₁₀ and LC₂₅, compared with the control group. The relative fitness of S. furcifera in LC₁₀ and LC₂₅ treatments was reduced by 47% and 63%, respectively. Furthermore, real-time quantitative PCR analyses revealed increased the expressions of SfCHS1 and its two variants following the exposure of nymphs to buprofezin. Increased these genes mRNA levels associated with reduced chitin biosynthesis may result from the inhibition of chitin synthase activity, and thereby leading to a higher mortality of S. furcifera. Overall, sublethal concentrations of buprofezin suppressed the population growth of S. furcifera.

采取稻茎浸渍法测定了氯虫苯甲酰胺对黑肩绿盲蝽毒力,利用生命表技术研究了氯虫苯甲酰胺对黑肩绿盲蝽实验种群的影响,为协调水稻害虫的化学防治和生物防治提供参考。结果表明,氯虫苯甲酰胺对黑肩绿盲蝽若虫LC50和LC10分别为83.5mg/L和61.3 mg/L,氯虫苯甲酰胺对黑肩绿盲蝽成虫LC50和LC10分别为64.3 mg/L和39.0 mg/L。氯虫苯甲酰胺对黑肩绿盲蝽若虫和成虫的LC10分别大于和接近于大田使用剂量40mg/L。以大田使用剂量40 mg/L氯虫苯甲酰胺稻茎浸渍法处理黑肩绿盲蝽3龄若虫后,其产卵期、寿命和产卵量降低了4.3 d、3.0 d和22.0粒,与对照相比差异显著,表明氯虫苯甲酰胺对当代成虫寿命与生殖力影响较大;药剂处理后次代种群的成虫前期延长了2.3 d;存活率、平均日产卵量跟对照相比明显降低;种群净增值率、周限增长率、内禀增长率跟对照相比明显降低,分别为21.0(对照63.3)、18.8(对照19.2)、0.16(对照0.22),而种群加倍时间延长为4.3(对照3.2);这些结果表明,在40 mg/L浓度下,氯虫苯甲酰胺能够降低黑肩绿盲蝽种群的增长。     

稻虱红单节螯蜂寄生不同虫龄白背飞虱对二者发育表现的影响

【目的】为了解稻虱红单节螯蜂Haplogonatopus apicalis与白背飞虱Sogatella furcifera间的互作关系,开展了稻虱红单节螯蜂在白背飞虱不同龄期寄生时,对寄主及其自身发育表现影响的研究。【方法】在室内25℃条件下,观察了被寄生的白背飞虱各龄若虫及其寄生蜂稻虱红单节螯蜂的发育表现。【结果】白背飞虱2,3,4和5龄若虫被寄生后,当龄及其后各龄的历期均显著延长;2和3龄若虫被寄生后,成虫羽化率仅分别为54.29%和60.95%,显著低于在4和5龄若虫被寄生后的成虫羽化率(分别为96.20%和100%)。稻虱红单节螯蜂寄生白背飞虱5龄若虫后的发育历期(23.77 d)显著短于寄生2龄若虫后的发育历期(27.77 d);寄生3龄若虫的成蜂羽化率最高,为56.19%;而寄生5龄若虫的羽化雄蜂比例最高,为77.12%。【结论】稻虱红单节螯蜂寄生可使白背飞虱若虫发育历期显著延长,白背飞虱2和3龄若虫是稻虱红单节螯蜂发育的适宜寄主。     

Sub-lethal effects of tiametoxam on life table parameters of the cabbage aphid,Brevicoryne brassicae (L.) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) under laboratory conditions

Efficiency of tiametoxam was determined on population growth parameters of cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae L. (Hemiptera: Aphididae) using demographic toxicology by leaf spray method. At first, bioassay was performed. The LC₅₀ values and confidence limits for thiamethoxam were 169.05?ppm (92.61–342.51). To evaluate, the sub-lethal effect of this insecticide on population growth parameters of cabbage aphid, LC₂₅ and LC₁₀ concentrations of tiametoxam were used at 58.8 and 22.05?ppm, respectively. Also, the LC₅₀ value of insecticide on the life table estimates was measured. Experiments were carried out in the laboratory at 23?±?1?°C, 60?±?5% RH and 16:8 (L:D) photoperiod on cabbage seedlings, Brassica oleracea, var. capitata L. Net fecundity rate decreased in insecticide-treated populations. Intrinsic rates of increase (r_m) were lower in tiametoxam treatment than in controls. There was a relative increase in intrinsic death rates of treated populations. The mean generation time and doubling time were also lower in population treated with insecticide than the control. There was a considerable reduction in the average numbers of nymphs reproduced per female as compared with the control. The average longevity of female adults in the control was significantly different (p?<?0.05) from those treated with thiamethoxam.     

Sublethal effects of beta-cypermethrin on the bird cherry-oat aphid Rhopalosiphum padi (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

Rhopalosiphum padi is a sap-sucking aphid and an important pest of wheat that causes considerable yield loss. Beta-cypermethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid pesticide, has a broad insecticide spectrum and is considered effective for aphid control, while its residual concentrations may have sublethal effects on R. padi. Here, the sublethal effects of beta-cypermethrin on R. padi were conducted under laboratory conditions. The acute toxicity test showed that LC₁₀, LC₂₀, and LC₂₅ of beta-cypermethrin to R. padi adults were 0.003, 0.031 and 0.079 mg L⁻¹, respectively. The pre-adult survival rate was significantly reduced by all three concentrations. LC₂₀ significantly extended the development duration of 1st instar nymphs, pre-oviposition period, and oviposition period of R. padi. The adult longevity was also reduced by LC₂₅. However, the fecundity did not differ between the beta-cypermethrin treatment and control. For life table parameters, both the finite rate (λ) and intrinsic rate of increase (r) decreased at LC₁₀ and LC₂₀, as well as the net reproductive rate (R₀) reduced at LC₁₀ and LC₂₅, while mean generation time (T) increased at LC₂₀. Thus, at the concentrations of beta-cypermethrin tested here, there were negative impacts on R. padi fitness by decreased pre-adult survival rate, λ, r, and R₀, and delayed the development of some stages and increased T.     

Sublethal effects of hexaflumuron on development and reproduction of the diamondback moth,Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae)

Abstract Effects of hexaflumuron at 10% lethal concentration (LC₁₀) and LC₂₅ on development and reproduction parameters of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus, 1753) (Lep.: Yponomeutidae) were investigated. Estimated LC₅₀, LC₁₀ and LC₂₅ values of leaf dip bioassay of hexaflumuron on the third instar larvae of the P. xylostella were 1.48, 0.59 and 0.91 mg/L, respectively. Hexaflumuron decreased pupal weight in the parent generation at sublethal concentrations but in the offspring generation, this effect was not observed. Sublethal concentrations increased egg, first and second larval instar and pupa developmental time and shortened life span of adults, but did not change the third and fourth larval instars and pre‐pupa developmental period. Also fecundity of females reduced significantly but hatchability of treatments and control were similar. Survival rate of pre‐adult stages declined significantly at LC₂₅ concentration. Reproduction parameters such as reproductive rate (R₀) and intrinsic rate of increase in sublethal concentrations were significantly lower compared with control, but gross reproduction rate (GRR) at the LC₁₀ concentration was increased and it could be hormoligosis. Also hexaflumuron significantly increased doubling time (Dt). We conclude that the sublethal effects of hexaflumuron might exhibit significant effects on the population dynamics of P. xylostella.     

Effects of B-azolemiteacrylic on life-history traits and demographic parameters of two-spotted spider mite,Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae)

The present study was conducted to evaluate sublethal effects of B-azolemiteacrylic on the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae). Female adults of T. urticae were exposed to LC₁₀ and LC₃₀ of the acaricide, and the effects on treated females and their offspring were evaluated. The results showed that the fecundity of F₀ female adults treated with LC₁₀ and LC₃₀ of B-azolemiteacrylic was reduced by 30.9 and 39.2%, respectively. Longevity and oviposition period of the females were significantly reduced as well. The developmental duration of egg and deutonymph stage of the F₁ generation were not significantly different from that of the control. The protonymph stage after LC₃₀ treatment lasted significantly longer, whereas the larva, deutonymph and female stage were significantly shorter than the control. The oviposition period of the F₁ generation was significantly shortened, the fecundity of each female decreased significantly, and the ratio of female-to-male was reduced too. Moreover, the average generation period of T. urticae after LC₁₀ and LC₃₀ treatments was shorter than that of the control, and the net production rate (R₀), intrinsic rate of increase (r_m) and finite rate of increase (λ) were all reduced by 33.3, 7.5 and 1.9% (LC₁₀ treatment) and by 51.3, 14.8 and 3.6% (LC₃₀ treatment), respectively. The population doubling time was prolonged by 7.5 and 14.8% after LC₁₀ and LC₃₀ treatments, respectively, compared with the control. These results indicate that B-azolemiteacrylic may effectively inhibit the development rate of the F₀ and F₁ populations of T. urticae, which will help design integrated strategies for the comprehensive control of T. urticae and rational use of pesticides in the field.
