Abstract:Treatment of tobacco hornworm larvae with the benzyl-1,3-benzodioxole derivative J-2710 immediately after ecdysis to the fourth instar disrupted development either during the moult to the fifth instar or shortly thereafter. Larvae given topical applications of 100 μg J-2710 in 1 μl acetone suffered 100% mortality, often after secreting moulting fluid in large pockets between the epidermis and the cuticle later in the fourth instar. Larvae that successfully ecdysed had abnormalities of the mouthparts and cervix that interfered with normal feeding, inhibiting growth in the fifth instar. Larvae of the gregarious endoparasitic wasp Cotesia congregata (=Apanteles congregatus) frequently failed to emerge from host Manduca sexta larvae treated with high doses of J-2710, particularly when the host failed to feed normally. Less potent disruptive effects on Manduca and Cotesia were seen after treatment of larvae with the derivatives J-3370 and J-2581.No anti-juvenile hormone action of J-2710 was observed. J-2710-treated M. sexta larvae showed no precocious metamorphosis and the developmental effects of J-2710 were not prevented by co-application of the juvenile hormone analogue methoprene in doses ranging from 1 to 100 μg/larva. Moreover, J-2710 had no effect on the action of methoprene in the black larval assay for juvenile hormone-like activity, unlike results reported to occur using the Galleria wax wound assay.
