Popis: | Wireworms and white grubs are destructive underground pests in maize fields in China. Cyantraniliprole has good control effect on coleoptera pests. Here, we evaluated the toxicity of cyantraniliprole to the second instar larvae of Anomala corpulenta Motschulsky and third-instar of larvae of Pleonomus canaliculatus Faldermann and the effects of sublethal concentrations on the activity of antioxidant and detoxification enzymes. We also explored the efficacy of cyantraniliprole on underground pests under indoor and field conditions. The LC50 of cyantraniliprole for the third instar larvae of P. canaliculatus was 23.3712 mg/L, and that for the second instar larvae of A. corpulenta was 5.9715 mg/L. Cyantraniliprole can activate the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and glutathione S-transferase (GST) to different degrees at a sublethal dose. According to the pot experiment and the control efficacy test in the field, the indoor control effect of cyantraniliprole seed treatment on P. canaliculatus and white grubs was approximately 80%, and the maximum increase in yield achieved through cyantraniliprole application was approximately 15% in the field efficacy test. Cyantraniliprole has a strong control effect on wireworms and white grubs, so it can be used to treat seeds to control underground pests in maize fields. |
