Table 3. Natural (ND), bacterial (BD) and total (TD) degradation of lambda-cyhalothrin, deltamethrin, chlorpyrifos ethyl, lufenuron and spinosad (spinosyn A e D) after 5 days of cultivation of bacterial isolates from the larval gut of insecticide-resistant lines of Spodoptera frugiperda.

Insecticide Isolate Degradation (±SE, n = 3)
TD % ND % BD %*
Lambda-cyhalothrin IIL-Lc09 –P. stutzeri 46.5 ± 7.2 9.3 ± 3.7b 37.2 ± 3.9a
Deltamethrin IIL-Dm05 –A. nicotinovorans 59.6 ± 6.1 4.7 ± 4.6b 54.9 ± 9.3a
Chlorpyrifos ethyl IIL-Cl29 –L. adecarboxylata 31.0 ± 9.8 4.0 ± 1.2b 27.0 ± 8.7a
Lufenuron IIL-Luf14 –M. arborescens 38.0 ± 16.7 0.0 ± 0.0b 38.0 ± 16.7a
Spinosyn A IIL-Sp19 –P. psychrotolerans 48.6 ± 10.3 2.8 ± 1.4b 45.8 ± 11.6a
Spinosyn D 81.0 ± 7.2 3.8 ± 1.9b 77.2 ± 9.2a

*BD% = TD%—ND%; means followed by different letters within lines indicates the bacterial degradation differs from the natural degradation using t test (p≤0.01)
