Abstract | ||||
The insecticidal, biological and biochemical effects of Indoxacarb and Methoxyfenozoidwere evaluated on the 4th instar larvae of Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Indoxacarb exhibited high level of toxicity with Lc50 (0.3983ppm) followed by Methoxyfenozoid (1.7799ppm). The tested insecticides at all treatments increased larval mortality, larval duration and decreased pupation rate, pupal weight and adult emergence. Female fecundity and fertility were significantly reduced at all treatments compared to control. Furthermore, a significant reduction in the digestive enzymes (amylase, trehalase, invertase) and GOT & GPT were recorded. | ||||
