“…This effect can be due to its action mode since the coupling of the spinosad molecule to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) leads to the opening of ion channels (Cl -) in the postsynaptic membrane and causes both hyperexcitability of the central nervous system (CNS) and death of the treated insects. According to Salgado (1998) and Salgado et al (1998), the spinosad molecule can also act on the receptors of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which are present in the CNS of insects and affect their functioning. Similar results were observed by Maia et al (2010) Findings reported in this study for chlorfenapyr are similar to those obtained by Moura et al (2004) for the same parasitoid species.…”

Corn (Zea mays L.) is cultivated in large areas and considered one of the world's major cereal crops. There are several arthropod pests that can reduce its production such as the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lep.: Noctuidae), which is considered to be the main pest for corn. Fall armyworm is primarily controlled by insecticides. The use of biological control agents to manage this pest is growing with an emphasis on the egg parasitoid Trichogramma pretiosum Riley (Hym.: Trichogrammatidae). Thus, the aim of this research was to evaluate the impact of the following insecticides (g ai L -1 ) beta-cypermethrin (0.03), chlorfenapyr (0.60), chlorpyrifos (0.96), spinosad (0.16), etofenprox (0.10), triflumuron (0.08), alfa-cypermethrin/teflubenzuron (0.0425/0.0425), and lambda-cyhalothrin/thiamethoxam (0.11/0.083) on survival, sex ratio, reproduction, and T. pretiosum offspring. Distilled water was used as a control. Commercial insecticide formulations were diluted in distilled water. Bioassays used Anagasta kuehniella eggs treated with insecticides which were afterwards exposed to parasitism. Bioassays were conducted under controlled conditions at 25 ± 2 ºC, 70 ± 10% RH, and 12:12 h photoperiod. Alfa-cypermethrin/teflubenzuron, beta-cypermethrin, chlorpyrifos, chlorfenapyr, spinosad, etofenprox, and lambda-cyhalothrin/thiamethoxam reduced parasitism capacity of maternal generation females as well as the percentage of insect emergence from the F1 generation. Only triflumuron was selective for T. pretiosum and can be recommended along with this parasitoid in fall armyworm management programs in corn.

“…These effects are consistent with the activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors by a mechanism that is clearly novel and unique among known insect control products. Spinosad also affects GABA receptor function that may contribute to insect activity (Salgado 1998.…”

Neotropical Entomology 34(5): 815-822 (2005) Efeito de Isca Tóxica à Base de Spinosad Contra Ceratitis capitata (Wied.) PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Insecta, mosca-das-frutas, inseticida, mortalidadeABSTRACT -Laboratory studies were conducted to determine the mortalities caused by spinosad in Ceratitis capitata (Wied.) and Anastrepha fraterculus (Wied.). Spinosad formulated bait, diluted in water, was compared with baits of malathion, trichlorfon, fenthion and deltamethrin. The lethal time increased for C. capitata (medfly) adults fed in lower concentrations of spinosad. The LT50 values for C. capitata were estimated in 106, 126 and 154 min for 80, 8 and 4 ppm, respectively. No differences at LT50 were observed for different ages, 2-3d, 3-5d and 5-7d old C. capitata exposed to 80 ppm. Both fruit fly species presented similar pattern of survival when treated with spinosad at 80 ppm. In general, fenthion and trichlorfon showed LT50 values lower than spinosad for different ages of medfly. After 180 min from initial exposure to spinosad bait, the mortality rates of 2-3d and 3-5d old C. capitata were similar to that by fenthion. The LT50 for A. fraterculus was estimated in 85.9 min, slightly shorter than for C. capitata when both species were exposed to 8 ppm of spinosad. Medfly adults exposed to concentrations equal or inferior to 0.4 ppm of spinosad showed LT50s longer than 12 h. Leaves treated and kept in the field with baits of spinosad, malathion, fenthion and deltamethrin, caused high mortalities of medfly adults until two days after treatment.

“…Currently, the group of new biorational insecticides suitable for the CPB control in IPM programmes is represented by different active ingredients: Spinosad is a biopesticide that is produced through the fermentation of the soil actinomycete Saccharopolyspora spinosa Mertz and Yao (Thompson & Hutchins 1999), its active ingredient consists of a mixture of spinosyn A and spinosyn D (Salgado 1998). This product is benign towards biological control agents, humans and environment.…”

Osman M. A.M. (2010): Biological efficacy of some biorational and conventional insecticides in the control of different stages of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). Plant Protect. Sci., 46: 123-134.The biological efficacy of some biorational and conventional insecticides against different stages of Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) was evaluated under laboratory and semi-field conditions. Seven different commercial products were tested, including the biorational insecticides: Spinosad, Mectin, Fitoverm, Match, Neemix in addition to two conventional insecticides: Actara and Actellic. Data indicated that all tested insecticides showed low toxic effects to L. decemlineata eggs, but most hatching neonates died shortly after hatching. All tested insecticides at their field rates showed high toxicity to larvae of L. decemlineata. The highest mortality was obtained in earlier instars, as compared to older ones, and mortality increased with the time of exposure. Moreover, the lower concentrations (up to 25% of the field rate) of Actara, Mectin, Spinosad, and Fitoverm showed high efficacy against L. decemlineata third instar larvae. Also, Actara caused the highest mortality in L. decemlineata adults, followed by Spinosad, Mectin, and Fitoverm as compared to Actellic, Match, and Neemix. In pupal bioassay, Fitoverm caused the greatest reduction in L. decemlineata adult emergence followed by Mectin, Actara, Actellic and Spinosad. In translocation bioassays, Actara caused the highest mortality in L. decemlineata 3 rd instar larvae or adults followed by Spinosad and Mectin. The residual activity of tested insecticides against third instar larvae was also evaluated. Actara, Spinosad, and Mectin were more persistent under field conditions, consequently the mortality rates after 30 days of application were 46.67%, 44.44%, and 35.56%, respectively.
