Glutathione transferase (GST) of diamondback moth larvae was purified 30-fold by affinity chromatography following ammonium sulphate fractionation. Subsequent cation-exchange chromatography yielded two electrophoretically homogenous isozymes, GST-2 (pl 8.2, subunit MA 23.6 kDa) and GST-3 (pl 8.2, subunit MA 26.5 kDa); a third isozyme, GST-1 (pl5.1, subunit MA 27.1 kDa), was only partially purified. GST-3 exhibited apparent substrate preference for 1,2-dichloro-4-nitrobenzene, methyl parathion, parathion, and paraxon, while GST-2 had much higher activity toward 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene; both GST-1 and GST-3 showed significantly higher activity toward 4-nitrophenyl acetate than GST-2. All three GST isozymes appeared to be aryltransferase for the only product observed in parathion, methyl parathion, and paraoxon conjugation was S-4-nitrophenyl glutathione. Both susceptible and methyl parathion-resistant diamondback moth larvae appeared to have the same profile but different proportions of these three GST isozymes. (03266)

Douglas, C.; Reid, J.C. 1988. Development of cost-effective chemical control strategies for the diamond back moth in Jamaica. St Augustine (Trinidad and Tobago): CARDI. p. 13.

Trials were conducted on farmers’ fields in Antigua in different agroecological zones to evaluate six of the more recent available insecticides and two types of action threshold for the Diamond Back Manufactures. Timing of spray applications was based on regular scouting. Plots were sprayed whenever the larval counts exceeded 0.5 per plant or maor than 20 percent of plants in a plot were damaged. The results indicate that the superior treatments are Cypermethrin plus profenofos (Tambo) Cypermethrin (Sherpa) Bacillus thuringiensis (Thuricide). The use of scouting reduces the number of applications per crop from approximately 20 as a general farmer practice to no more than nine (9). In both zones net benefit (EC$/ha) to farmers was highest in plots treated with Tambo (44698-47466), Sherpa (42706-47009) and Thuricide (40521-45209) compared with the control (5113-8523). Marginal analysis reveals that, relative to the control, each additional dollar invested in Tambo, Sherpa and Thuricide yielded in the range of EC$ 36-39, 46-48 and 42-45 respectively. Based upon these results a pest Management Strategy is recommended in which pesticides are selected to provide ecologically safest practice and at the same time delay the development of DRM resistance.

Endemic natural enemies of Plutella xylostella include 10 species of predators. Apanteles plutellae, an important natural enemy of P. xylostella, has two peaks of occurrence from June to July and again from September to October every year. The duration of the egg and larval stage was 8.8 days. The pupal stage was 5 days. The longevity of female adults was 5.2 days. Tetrastichus sokolowskii has one peak of occurrence in September. The duration of the egg to pupal stage was 17.8 days. The longevity of the female adults was 6.3 days. Diadromus subtilicornis has one peak of occurrence from August to September. The three parasitoids mentioned above are revealed to be effective, attacking the diamondback moth at the same time. (00802)

The method to obstruct the embryonic development of eggs of the Ephestia moth which were parasitized by Trichogramma chilonis and T. ostriniae for mass culture of them was investigated. The eggs of Ephestia kuehniella and E. cautella were used for the experiment. The hatching ratio of the moth eggs was 0 percent after exposure of the ultraviolet light (NEC, GL-15 lamp) for 8 minutes (250, 632uWcm*(2)) for E. kuehniella and 10 minutes (320, 400uW/cm*(2)) for E. cautella.

The effect of temperature on the development of two egg parasitoids, Trichogramma chilonis and T. ostriniae, which attack the diamondback moth, were observed in the laboratory under the controlled conditions of constant temperatures (20 deg C, 24 deg C, and 28 deg C). The results are summarized as follows: 1. The longevity of the female adult of T. chilonis was significantly longer at 20 deg C as compared with 24 deg C and 28 deg C. 2. No significant difference in the female adult longevity of T. ostriniae was obeserved at 20 deg C, 24 deg C, and 28 deg C. 3. The fecundity of each parasitoid was significantly higher at 20 deg C as compared with 24 deg C and 28 deg C. 4. The two parasitoids were proved to be pro-ovigenic. 5. The percentage of offspring female production in the two egg parasitoids was highest from the eggs deposited on the first day of emergence and the trends were decreased thereafter towards the end of female's lifetime. 6. The values of capacity for increase (Rc) risen as the temperature increased from 20 deg C to 28 deg C. 7. The fecundity of each parasitoid was highest at the first day of emergence and then the trend was decreased toward the end of female lifetime. (00800)

The functional responses of Trichogramma chilonis and T. ostriniae were investigated by offering the eggs of Ephestia kuehniella and Plutella xylostella as host. The results are summarized as follows: 1. The percentage parasitism by each parasitoid increased as the host density increased, then reached to the maximum, as thereafter decreased. 2. The sex ratio of female progeny of each parasitoid ranged from 0.64 to 0.92 in all host densities. 3. No significant difference in the functional response of T. ostriniae to host densities was observed according to host species. (00803)

A new rearing method was developed for Trichogramma chilonis and T. ostriniae, egg parasitoids of the diamondback moth. Eggs of Ephestia kuehniella and E. cautella were treated by the ultraviolet light and these were found to be suitable for mass culture of the two parasitoids. The new method is not only productive but also economical. (00805)

The activities of the acylurea insect growth regulators, chlorfluazuron, teflubenzuron and diflubenzuron, and the neurotoxic macrocyclic lactone, abamectin were assessed against a laboratory susceptible (FS) strain and a field (Cameron Highlands, Malaysia (CH) strain of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella L. using a leaf-dip bioassay at 20 deg C.

In a study of a DBM strain (CH) collected form Malaysia in March 1988, marked cross-resistance to two acylurea insecticides, chlorfluazuron and teflubenzuron, was found, which did not appear to extend appreciably to related compounds. The present paper describes further work on the CH strain to investigate some of the possible resistance mechanism(s)involved. (02296)
