Abstract
Laboratory bioassay tests showed that Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.) (Bactospeine) treatment of second instar larvae of Heliothis armigera (Hbn.) and Spodoptera litura F. increased their susceptibility to endosulfan, monocrotophos, fenvalerate and Cypermethrin. The LC50 of these insecticides to both the species of larvae were lowered when treated with B.t. Comparison of susceptibility ratios showed that the increased susceptibility to insecticides was more in H. armigera than in S. litura larvae. Les epreuves de bioassay au laboratoire ont montre que la sensibilite aux endosulfan, fenvalerate, monocrotophos et cypermethrine est augmente aux larves d’Heliothis armigera et Spodoptera litura lorsque leurs larves du deuxieme stade sont inocule par le Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.) (Bactospeine). On les a inocule en les permettant a nourrir pour 24 h sur les feuilles de Poischiche (Cicer arietinum) et de ricin (Ricinus communis) traites par une suspension du B.t. dans l’eau distillee a 300 mg/l. Les valeurs de LC50 de ces produits phytosanitaires aux tous les deux especes des larves ont abaisses lorsqu’ elles sont etaient inoculees avec le B.t. La comparaison des rapports de la sensibilite a montre que la sensibilite induit par le B.t. aux produits phytosanitaires a ete davantage aux larves d’Heliothis armigera que de S. litura.
