Abstract
Beet armyworms, Spodoptera exigua (Hübner), were artificially selected in the laboratory for resistance to the insect growth regulator, methoxyfenozide. A field collected beet armyworm colony was separated into three cohorts that were independently selected with three concentrations (0.033 ppm, 0.064 ppm, and 0.125 ppm) of methoxyfenozide incorporated into a meridic diet. These concentrations corresponded closely with the LC10 (0.033 ppm), LC50 (0.072 ppm), and LC90 (0.161 ppm), respectively, for the original colony. After seven generations of continuous exposure to methoxyfenozide, resistance in the colony selected at the low concentration did not increase significantly. In contrast, LC50 values increased 9.7- and 9.4-fold for the colonies selected at the moderate and high concentrations, respectively, over that of the original colony. Crosses between resistant and susceptible individuals indicated that the resistance was heritable. At 4 d after exposure, mortality of offspring from the reciproc... RESUMEN Los gusanos trozadores, Spodoptera exigua (Hübner), fueron seleccionados artificialmente en el laboratorio para su resistencia al regulador de crecimiento de insectos, metoxifenozido. Una colonia del gusano trozador recolectada en el campo fue separada en tres cohortes que independientemente fueron seleccionados con tres concentraciones (0.033 ppm, 0.064 ppm, y 0.125 ppm) de metoxifenozido incorporadas en una dieta merídica. Estas concentraciones correspondieron de manera cercana con las concentraciones letales CL10 (0.033 ppm), CL50 (0.072 ppm), y CL90 (0.161 ppm), respectivemente, para la colonia original. Después de siete generaciones de ser expuesta continuamente al metoxifenozido, la resistencia en la colonia seleccionada a la concentración menor no aumentó significativamente. En contraste, los valores de CL50 aumentaron por 9.7 y 9.4 veces para las colonias seleccionadas de concentraciones moderadas y altas, respectivamente, sobre las de la colonia original. Los cruzes entre los individuos r...Keywords
