Abstract

Nine synthetic pyrethroids were evaluated at 1 ppm in an artificial diet fed to larvae of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). All compounds were effective insecticides for FAW control at this sublethal concentration because they inhibited growth of larvae, reduced the amount of feeding by larvae, reduced mobility of adults, and in 8 instances reduced fecundity.
