Abstract

The efficacy of Agroecosystem Compounds, fipronil, spinosad and chlorantraniliprole as alternatives to the conventional insecticides on the mortality rates and haemolymph protein, lipid and carbohydrate contents were assessed in Schistocerca gregaria and Locusta migratoria migratorioides. One day old 5th nymphal instars of each of the mentioned species were treated by various concentrations of tested compounds by the feeding technique. The results indicated that Locusta migratoria migratorioides is more sensitive to all tested insecticides than Schistocerca gregaria. In both species, fipronil was the most effective followed by spinosad, and chlorantraniliprole was the least effective. LC30 concentrations of the three compounds were used to treat the 5th instar hoppers of both species to examine the effects of sub lethal concentrations of the mentioned insecticides on the haemolymph total proteins, total lipids and total carbohydrates. It was found that haemolymph proteins, lipids and carbohydrates contents were dramatically reduced for the treated hoppers when compared to the untreated ones of both species. Malformed hopper and wrinkled winged adult were seen in insects treated by sub lethal concentrations of fipronil and spinosad.
