The dose-effect relationship of two chitin synthesis inhibitors diflubenzuron and triflumuron against three vegetables pests viz., Sylepta derogata, Epilachna vigintioctopunctata and Psera basalis was assessed in terms of the average survival periods when the different larval instars were exposed on treated food materials in the laboratory. The results showed that the earlier instars . In general, the dose-effect relationship had a positive linear trend . The three test insects showed different susceptibility to the chitin sysnthesis inhibitors. S. derogata was least susceptible and it was followed by E. vigintioctopunctata and P. basalis in susceptibility.
Besides the mortality observed, various malformations and deformities were also noted in the different life stages of the insects. At the various doses tried the mortality of the larval stages was , in effect, total. The later instars fed with lower cocentrations survived in small percentages and pupated. Some of these pupae were abnormal and some gave rise to abnormal adults fully or partly emerged from the pupal skin. |
