Abstract:
Using high doses of insecticides is very dangerous for the environments and for humans. Decreased concentrations are
necessary. Insecticides have lethal and sublethal effects. The aim of the present study was to determine the behavior of
Plutella xylo-
stella
when exposed to sublethal doses of indoxacarb in terms of the age-specific fecundity (m
x
), life expectancy (e
x
) and stable age
distribution (C
x
). Also, the effects of sublethals on the pre-oviposition, oviposition and post-oviposition period of this insect were
investigated. The results show that exposure to this insecticide decreased the age-specific fecundity (m
x
) and life expectancy (e
x
) of
the insect. Although the pre-oviposition period was delayed in the treated groups, the post-oviposition period significantly decreased
when exposed to LC
10
and LC
25
doses (the dose concentrations killed 10 and 25% of the populations) of indoxacarb. The oviposition
period did not change. Furthermore, sublethal concentrations of the applied insecticide caused changes in the exposed structure.
