Response of the Tobacco Budworm to Permethrin and Methyl Parathion in Arizona , 1977 - 1990
نویسنده
چکیده
Field populations of tobacco budworm. Heliothis virescens (F.). have been monitored annually since 1977 with topical applications of synthetic pyrethroid insecticides (primarily permethrin) and methyl parathion to detect changes in insecticide susceptibility. These data showed that LD50's fluctuated somewhat from year to year with permethrin. but with one possible exception. the fluctuations were not sufficient to change levels of expected control in the field. Field populations continue to show susceptibility to permethrin even though one Maricopa County population showed an increase in the LDs0 to 12.4 in 1988. Field populations continue to show resistance to methyl parathion and susceptibility to permethrin.

Bollgard cotton and resistance of tobacco budworm (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) to conventional insecticides in southern Tamaulipas, Mexico.
Insecticide susceptibility in tobacco budworm, Heliothis virescens (F.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), was determined for 8 yr (1991-2001) with larvae sampled from cotton in southern Tamaulipas, Mexico. Before 1996, when Bollgard cotton expressing the Cry1A(c) delta-endotoxin was introduced into the region, two important patterns were documented. The first was economically significant increases in r...

Background: Permethrin is a drug used to cure pediculosis known as head lice. This drug is available in two forms: 1) permethrin topical cream 5%, 2) permethrin shampoo 1%. The aim of this study was to find a method and define the simultaneous cis and trans isomers for permethrin, methyl paraben, propyl paraben and butylated hydroxytoluene in topical cream 5% using the method high-performance l...
متن کاملIdentifying the cause of sediment toxicity in agricultural sediments: the role of pyrethroids and nine seldom-measured hydrophobic pesticides.
Few currently used agricultural pesticides are routinely monitored for in the environment. Even if concentrations are known, sediment LC(50) values are often lacking for common sediment toxicity testing species. To help fill this data gap, sediments in California's Central Valley were tested for nine hydrophobic pesticides seldom analyzed: abamectin, diazinon, dicofol, fenpropathrin, indoxacarb...
متن کاملGenetic Differentiation of Western Corn Rootworm Populations (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) Relative to Insecticide Resistance
As the single most important pest of field corn, Zea mays L., throughout most of the Corn Belt, the western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), has undergone repeated selection for resistance to a variety of insecticides that persist widely among Nebraska populations. In this study, we used 11 microsatellite markers to genotype two populations with...

Organophosphorus (OP) forms an important class of toxic compounds. They inhibit acetyl cholinesterase (AChE, EC 3.1.1.7) that results in respiratory and myocardial malfunctions. Pesticides could be accumulated in vegetables and fruits, so detection of them is very important. The goals of this study are decreasing detection time and detection limit of methyl parathion bioprobe. In this research ...
