Fate of 14C-Aldicarb in Parasitized Spodoptera littoralis Boisd. Larvae

Year 2005, Volume: 11 Issue: 03, 316 - 320, 01.08.2005

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the fate of 14C-aldicarb in parasitized Spodoptera littoralis Boisd Lep.: Noctuidae larvae fed with 14C-aldicarb treated lettuce leaves. 14C-aldicarb equivalent residues were found 75.49 % , 1.14 % and 3.4 % of initially applied radioactivity in the feces of Spodoptera littoralis and cadaver, and parasitoid Chelonus oculator Panzer Hym.:Braconidae , respectively. Results showedthat aldicarb metabolized rapidly and excreted out of body by feces within 24-48 hours, before the attack of parasitoid to host organs

Parazitli Spodoptera littoralis Boisd. Larvalarında 14C-Aldicarbın İzlenmesi

Year 2005, Volume: 11 Issue: 03, 316 - 320, 01.08.2005

Abstract

Bu çalışmada 14C-aldicarb uygulanmış marul yaprakları ile beslenen parazitli Spodoptera littoralis Boisd Lep.: Noctuidae larvalarında aldicarbın izlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Başlangıçta uygulanan 14C-aldicarb’ın % 75.49’u Spodoptera littoralis’ in dışkılarında, % 1.26’ sı kadavrasında ve % 3.02’ si parazitoidde Chelonus oculator Panzer Hym.:Braconidae bulunmuştur. Bu sonuçlar, parazitoidin konukçu organlarına saldırısından önce, 48 saat içinde aldicarb’ın hızla metabolize olduğu, dışkı ile vücuttan atıldığını göstermiştir
