Abstract

The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella check for this species in other resources (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae), is a serious threat to Brassica vegetables in Iran, including Tehran province. The ovicidal effects of different classes of insecticides on P. xylostella were investigated, using three fixed doses (based on commercial formulations). At the lowest concentration (500 mg L-1), the mortality effect of hexaflumuron and pyridalyl was higher than the other insecticides examined. Fipronil, hexaflumuron and spinosad and pyridalyl, however, showed high toxic effects at the median dose (1000 mg L-1). Onthe other hand, at high concentration (2000 mg L-1), all insecticides except lufenuron and indoxacarb (EC formulation) caused more than 85% mortality. Overall, these findings indicate that hexaflumuron, spinosad and fipronil, with low active ingredients and high mortality, could be the best choices for controlling the P. xylostella in the egg stage.

Resumen

La polilla del repollo, Plutella xylostella check for this species in other resources (L.) (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae), es un serio riesgo para especies Brassica en Irán, incluyendo la provincia de Teherán. Se investigó el efecto ovicida de algunos insecticidas pertenecientes a diferentes clases de P. xylostella usando tres dosis (basadas en formulacionescomerciales). A la menor concentración (500 mg L-1) elefecto de mortalidad de hexaflumuron y piridalil fue mayor que las otras dosis examinadas. Fipronil, hexaflumuron, spinosad y piridalil, sin embargo, mostraron fuertes efectos tóxicos a la dosis media (1000 mg L-1). Porotra parte, a alta concentración (2000 mg L-1) todos los insecticidas excepto lufenuron e indoxacarb (formulación EC) causaron más de 85% mortalidad. Finalmente, estos hallazgos indican que hexaflumuron, spinosad y fipronil con baja concentración de ingredientes activos y alta mortalidad pueden ser la mejor elección para controlar P. xylostella en el estado de huevo.
