Chilo partellus Swinhoe, 1885 (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), a destructive pest of maize, was recently recorded in the Mediterranean Region of Turkey. The pest is considered to be an invasive species, displacing indigenous stem borers in many parts of the world. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of commonly used insecticides in a maize production system in Turkey on egg hatch and mortality of first instar larvae of C. partellus under laboratory conditions (27±2ºC, 70% RH and 14:10 h L:D photoperiod) at the Plant Protection Department, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Çukurova. Eight insecticides registered for indigenous lepidopteran pests were used at the recommended rates. The percentage of hatched egg masses were significantly different. The smallest percentage was 30.6% with deltamethrin. The percentages of hatched egg masses were greater than 80% for all other insecticides. Mortality of hatched larvae was significantly different. The highest and lowest mortalities of hatched larvae were 84.5% and 38.2% with emamectin-benzoate and lambda-cyhalothrin, respectively. Seventy-two h after exposure of the first instar larvae to sprayed maize leaf disks, the lowest and highest mortalities were 62.6% and 96.7% with indoxacarb and emamectin-benzoate, respectively. Survival analyses revealed that hazard ratios ranged from 4.91 (95% CI: 1.66-14.6) to 15.6 (95% CI: 5.33-45.6) with chlorpyrifos-ethyl and emamectin-benzoate, respectively. The mortality of first instar larvae was about 16, 10 and 9 times that of the control with emamectin-benzoate, lambda-cyhalothrin and deltamethrin, respectively. Feeding activity of larval stage was reduced by all treatments. The implications of this study are discussed.

Chilo partellus Swinhoe, 1885 (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), Türkiye’de Akdeniz Bölgesi’nde son zamanlarda saptanan oldukça zararlı bir mısır zararlısıdır. İstilacı bir tür olarak değerlendirilen C. partellus, dünyanın birçok bölgesinde diğer yerli mısırkurtlarının yerini almaktadır. Bu amaçla, Türkiye’de mısır üretim alanlarında diğer Lepidopter türlerine karşı yaygın olarak kullanılan 8 insektisidin önerilen dozlarının C. partellus’un yumurta ve birinci dönem larvalarına etkisi, Çukurova Üniversitesi Ziraat Fakültesi Bitki Koruma Bölümü laboratuvarında 27±2ºC, %70 orantılı nem, 14:10 (A: K) koşullarda araştırılmıştır. Bu çalışmayla insektisitlerin yumurtaların açılma oranları ve larva ölüm oranları üzerinde etkili olduğu bulunmuştur. En düşük açılma oranı deltamethrinde %30.6 olarak belirlenmiştir. Diğer tüm insektisit uygulamalarında yumurta açılma oranları %80’nin üzerinde saptanmıştır. Larvaların ölüm oranlarında ise en yüksek oran %84.5 ile emamectin-benzoat’ta belirlenirken, en düşük oran %38.2 ile lambda-cyhalothrinde belirlenmiştir. İnsektisite daldırılmış mısır yaprak disklerinde ise birinci dönem larvaların en düşük ve en yüksek ölüm oranları, 72 saat sonra indoxacarb ve emamectin-benzoat için sırasıyla %62.6 ve % 96.7 olmuştur. Hayatta kalma analizleri, risk oranlarının chlorpyrifos-ethyl ve emamectin-benzoat için sırasıyla 4.9 (%95 CI: 1.66-14.6) ile 15.6 (%95 CI: 5.33-45.6) arasında değiştiğini göstermiştir. Birinci dönem larvalarının ölüm oranlarının kontrol ile kıyaslandığında emamectin-benzoate, lambda-cyhalothrin ve deltamethrinde sırasıyla 16, 10 ve 9 kat yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca tüm uygulamalarda larvaların davranışlarında azalma gözlenmiştir.
