Abstract
Spodoptera frugiperda Smith y Chloridea (= Heliothis) virescens Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) son plagas de importancia económica que afectan diversos cultivos como espárrago (Asparagus officinalis L.), alcachofa (Cynara scolymus L.), arándano (Vaccinium corymbosum I.), pimiento (Capsicum annuum L.), entre otros. El control químico es el método más difundido para manejar las poblaciones de esas plagas. Uno de los ingredientes activos más utilizados para controlar ambas especies es el emamectin benzoato; sin embargo, en las etiquetas de los productos comerciales se recomienda aplicar la misma dosis para ambas plagas. El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar la susceptibilidad de C. virescens y S. frugiperda al emamectin benzoato. Los bioensayos se desarrollaron en el Laboratorio de Toxicología de Plaguicidas de la Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina. Diferentes concentraciones del insecticida fueron incorporadas a la dieta y ofrecidas a larvas de tercer estadio de ambas especies. La evaluación de la mortalidad se realizó a las 72 horas después de la exposición a la dieta artificial contaminada con el insecticida. Los datos de mortalidad de cada población estudiada se sometieron al análisis Probit para la estimación de la Concentración Letal Media (CL50). La CL50 fue de 1,13 y 0,01 g mL-1, para S. frugiperda y C. virescens, respectivamente. Las CL50 estimadas indican que S. frugiperda es 98 veces más tolerante que C. virescens al emamectin benzoato. Se recomienda realizar ensayos de eficacia a fin de encontrar la dosis correcta para el control de S. frugiperda y C. virescens.
Spodoptera frugiperda Smith and Chloridea (= Heliothis) virescens Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) are economically important pests that affect various crops, including asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.), artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.), blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum I.), and pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), among others. Chemical control is the most widespread method for managing populations of these pests. One of the most commonly used active ingredients for controlling both species is emamectin benzoate; however, commercial product labels recommend applying the same dose for both pests. The objective of this research was to determine the susceptibility of C. virescens and S. frugiperda to emamectin benzoate. The bioassays were conducted at the Pesticide Toxicology Laboratory of the National Agrarian University La Molina. Different concentrations of the insecticide were incorporated into the diet and offered to third-instar larvae of both species. Mortality was assessed 72 hours after exposure to the artificial diet contaminated with the insecticide. Mortality data from each studied population were subjected to Probit analysis to estimate the Median Lethal Concentration (LC50). The LC50 was 1.13 and 0.01 g mL⁻¹ for S. frugiperda and C. virescens, respectively. The estimated LC50 indicate that S. frugiperda is 98 times more tolerant to emamectin benzoate than C. virescens. Efficacy trials are recommended to determine the correct dose for the control of S. frugiperda and C. virescens.
