Resumo: |
Insecticides and natural enemies are used or preserved sharing the same objective of reducing pest populations in the crop ecosystems. However, the examples of simultaneous action with additive or synergistic outcomes are rare. The resistance in lady beetles to the insecticide lambda-cyhalothrin, which is widely used against pests nontarget of the lady beetles, can result in simultaneous use of chemical and at least partial biological control. In this study was investigated the susceptibility of 28 Brazilian and 2 North American lady beetle populations to the lambda-cyhalothrin. Furthermore, studies were conducted to characterize the mechanisms and the inheritance of resistance for those species exhibiting high levels of tolerance to lambda-cyhalothrin. Among the studied populations resistance ratios were determined varying from 115- to 38-fold in four populations of Eriopis connexa Germar and 220-fold in one North American population of Hippodamia convergens Guérin-Méneville; therefore, there is strong evidence for selection of resistance to lambda-cyhalothrin in the field. Further, 22 and 96% of the Brazilian populations exhibited LD50 value that exceed the recommended lambda-cyhalothrin dose to spray cotton fields and the LD50 calculated for boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis Boh.). The lady beetle E. connexa exhibited autosomal and incompletely dominant inheritance of resistance to lambda- cyhalothrin; while the knockdown effect for H. convergens was sex linked and incompletely recessive. The tests indicated polygenically inherited resistance for both species with effective dominance varying as function of the dose applied. Resistance in E. connexa was completely inhibited with piperonyl butoxide (PBO), while the resistance in H. convergens was only partially inhibited with this synergist. High level of esterase activity was found in the resistant population of E. connexa. These results show the first record of resistance for lady beetles in Brazil and the first characterization of inheritance of resistance and metabolism related to insecticide resistance in lady beetles in the world. |
