Abstract
The present work was carried out under laboratory conditions in order to evaluate resistance building up of a cotton leafworm Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd.) laboratory susceptible strain to commercial formulations of Deltamethrin, Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus and their binary mixtures as indicated by certain biological aspects. The obtained results showed that no resistance have been achieved after 8 successive generations for the three tested treatments. The three formulations displayed latent effect which took place during the larval stages up to moth emergence. The data reveals that larval duration, pupal duration, pupal weight, adult longevity, mortality rates, sex ratio and reproductive potentiality were strongly affected. The simultaneous effect of these tested formulations was greatly governed; the binary mixture demonstrated mild effect in this respect.
