Abstract

Resistance
levels in laboratory and field strain of Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd.)
against two IGR's (lufenuron and tebufenozide)
were studied. Resistance levels were higher in fayoum than Sharkia and
laboratorystrain, in the two IGR's. There was a positive correlation between
resistance and Alkaline phosphatase and α-esterase enzyme, while there was
negative correlation between resistance level and Acid phosphatase & trehalase
activity, while in amylase enzyme Fayoum strain was lower than Sharkia and
laboratory strain. Fayoum
strain showed higher activity in case Invertase enzyme than other two strain.
