Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of the bio-insecticide Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel 2x® 6.4 % WP) against, 1st and 2nd instar Larvae of Sesamia cretica compared with methomyl (Lannate 90 % SP). After 48 hours from treatment, The LC50 value of B. thuringiensis for 1st instar and 2nd larvae were 0.00526 and 0.7 gm, respectively. While the LC50 of methomyl after 24h. for 1st instar and 2nd larvae were 3394 and 5481 ppm, respectively. After treatment of 1st and 2nd instars larvae of S. cretica with LC50 concentrates of B. thuringiensis, the average larval duration of S. cretica were (36.53 & 24.69) and (33.78& 20.31) days for treated and untreated, respectively.  In addition, the pupation percentage was (47 & 92 %) and (18 & 84 %) for treated and untreated, respectively. The larval mortality percentage was (53 & 8 %) and (82 & 16 %) for treated and untreated, respectively. The pupal weight for (treated & untreated), S. cretica were (0.1887 & 0.184 gm) and (0.1842 & 0.1601 gm) when it treated as 1st and 2nd instars larvae, respectively. Furthermore, the pupal duration were (12.14 & 10) and (10.44 & 9.83 days) for (treated & untreated), when S. cretica treated as 1st and 2nd instar larvae, respectively. The total adult emergence for 1st instar and 2nd instar larvae were (94 & 100%) and (100 & 100%) for treated and untreated, respectively. On the other hand results indicated that, after treatment of 1st and 2nd instar larvae of S. cretica with LC50 concentrates of methomyl, the average larval duration of S. cretica were (31.41 & 24.69) and (33.87& 20.31) days for treated and control, respectively. The pupation percentage was (34 & 92 %) and (28& 84 %) for treated and untreated when S. cretica treated as 1st and 2nd instars larvae, respectively. The larval mortality percentages were (66 & 8 %) and (72 & 16 %) for treated & untreated, respectively. The pupal weight for treated and control, were (0.1626 & 0.184 gm) and (0.1994 & 0.1601 gm), respectively. The pupal duration were (12.41 & 10) and (10.83 & 9.83) days for treated and untreated, respectively. The total emergence percentage for 1st instar larvae were (100 & 100 %) and (85.7& 100%) for 2nd instar larvae for each (treated & untreated), respectively.
