Impact of conventional insecticides on two bollworms and their indirect effects on the ectoparasitoid, Bracon brevicornis (Wesmael) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

Abstract: Background: Cotton bollworms such as Pectinophora gossypiella and Earias insulana are serious pests which destroy the cotton plant, and Bracon brevicornis is a parasitoid which attacked the larvae of bollworms. Results: In this study, experiments were performed to investigate and evaluate the toxicity of etofenprox and chlorpyrifos insecticides against newly hatched larvae of Pectinophora gossypiella and Earias insulana. Some biological aspects of compound effects on larval and pupal duration, percentage of mo… Show more

“…2021). The effect of the two insecticide treatments on some biological and biochemical characteristics of the hosts, P. gossypiella and E. insulana , and the parasitoid B. brevicornis grown on the treated hosts, resulting in a reduction in adult parasitoid outcomes (Kandil & Moustafa 2019). On the other hand, Hasan et al (2019) evaluated possible improvements to the mass rearing of the larval parasitoid Habrobracon hebetor on irradiated G. mellonella and Plodia interpunctella at the dose of 150Gy proved useful for enhancing parasitism and adult emergence of H. hebetor , with significantly higher parasitism recorded at 150 and Female parasitoids favored irradiated larvae and parasitized a substantially higher number of larvae than non-irradiated larvae.…”
