Abstract
Chlorpyrifos and Imidacloprid are belongs to two main groups of insecticides that are widely used in insect control. Many researches had been discussed the effect of both groups on non-target organisms and the environment. So, it necessary to reduce the used doses of this groups to save the environment. The effect of pre-treatment with lufenuron (chitin synthesis inhibitor) at sub lethal dose (LD25) on the efficacy of Chlorpyrifos and Imidacloprid on Spodoptera littoralis was studied using topical application method. The toxicity of both Chlorpyrifos and Imidacloprid increased after 24hrs of pre-treatment with LD25 of Lufenuron by 55 and 250 times for Chlorpyrifos and Imidacloprid, respectively compared with the toxicity of each compound alone. Histological studies showed that the treatment of 2nd instar larvae with LD25 of Lufenuron caused obvious separation of the hypodermis layer from the endocuticle, abnormalities in the epicuticle morphology , rupture in muscles, irregular and great disintegration of cuticle and hypodermis. In-vivo interaction of LD25 values of Chlorpyrifos, Imidacloprid and Lufenuron with Alkaline and Acid phosphatase caused significant increase in the activity of Alkaline phosphatase while Acid phosphatase activity was significantly decreased in all treatment.
