Nine insecticides were incorporated at different concentrations in artificial diet to determine their larvicidal effectiveness on grapevine moth Lobesia botrana from a laboratory strain originally collected in the Lake of Geneva region. A first evaluation was made after 14 days of rearing. Surviving individuals were kept then until adult emergence. Dose-mortality curves have been established. Efficiency varied greatly among the tested insecticides. Seven out of 9 products had a good potential to control grapevine moths as their LC50 values ranged from 0.05 to 1 ppm: methoxyfenozide, flufenoxuron, indoxacarb, tebufenozide, teflubenzuron, spinosad and chlorpyrifos-methyl. Concerning chlorpyrifos-ethyl (Pyrinex), its high LC50 of approximately 60 ppm can be attributed to the microencapsulated formulation that probably does not allow a good diffusion of active ingredients into the diet. Diflubenzuron does not present any interest for controlling grapevine moth.
