Abstract


Resistant strains of cotton leaf worm (Spodoptera litoralis) larvae to certain bioagents (i.e., twoBtformulations Agerin & Diple2x and actinomycetes formulation, Spinosad) were selected under laboratory conditions. Resistant larvae were exposed to the chemical insecticides, Dursban, Larvin and Sumi- alfa. Data obtained indicated no cross resistance between the chemical insecticides and the bioagents tested. The organophosphorus insecticide Dursban showed higher activity in the relaxation of resistance to Agerin and Diple 2x than the carbamate insecticide Larvin and the pyrethroid insecticide Sumi-alfa. However, the pyrethroid insecticide Sumi-alfa showed higher activity in reducing of resistance ratio of Spinosad. Results confirmed the importance of rotating bioagents with chemical insecticides in pest control programs to manage resistance toBt and other bioagents.
