Abstract: The indoor toxicity of 9 common-used insecticides and 5 biological insecticides to Arma chinensis was assessed by spray method. The safety assessment of five pesticides (deltamethrin, beta-cypermethrin, imidacloprid, cyantraniliprole, azadirachtin) to Arma chinensis on bean and pepper plant were also tested in the field. The results showed that, among the 14 tested insecticides, sulfoxaflor, chlorantraniliprole, Bacillus thuringiensis, Empedobacter brevis and Spodoptera frugiperda NPV all showed least toxicity and were relative safe to Arma chinensis; Indoxacarb and matrine were both lower toxicities with LC50 of 85.64 mg/L and 404.03 mg/L respectively at 48 hours after treatment, followed by cyantraniliprole, beta-cypermethrin, deltamethrin, cyhalothrin, azadirachtin. The highest toxicities were detected for thiamethoxam and imidacloprid, with LC50 of 0.96 mg/L and 1.16 mg/L respectively at 48 hours after treatment. Among the five insecticides tested, imidacloprid had the highest risk of Arma chinensis, with 100% mortality after 24 h, followed by deltamethrin, beta-cypermethrin, cyanidebromide and azadirassin.
