Abstract
Cytochrome P450 monooxgenase activity toward p -nitroanisole was measured in larvae of three strains of soybean looper, Pseudoplusia includens (Walker), including a laboratory susceptible (S) strain, a resistant (R) strain selected for several generations with permethrin, and a nonselected (NS) strain from the same field collections as the R strain. Activity was significantly higher in R strain larvae than in the S and NS strains (1.8- and 1.4-fold, respectively), and there was no significant difference between activity in the S and NS strains. Resistance to the alpha-cyano pyrethroids deltamethrin and cypermethrin was similar to or higher than that observed with permethrin (RR = 70.0, 62.4, 145.3 and 12.1, 32.3, and 27.0 for permethrin, deltamethrin, and cypermethrin in R and NS strains, respectively). The R strain was less resistant (RR = 4.3) to tefluthrin, a pyrethroid with a fluorinated-phenyl alcohol moiety, and a nonester (ether) pyrethroid, BRC 429 (RR = 17.7). Piperonyl butoxide (PB) significantly increased the toxicity of each insecticide tested in the R and NS strains. In addition, penetration of 14 C-cypermethrin was decreased significantly at 24 hr after treatment when R strain larvae were pretreated with PB, with 21.1% of the applied dose unpenetrated in PB-treated larvae and 7.6% unpenetrated in larvae not treated with PB.
