Abstract

An ecofriendly colloidal chitosan byproduct synthesized from crude chitosan was evaluated for its chronic toxicity against second instar larvae of Plutella xylostella L. by leaf dip bioassay. The consumption of 10000 ppm colloidal chitosan treated leaf caused 100% mortality after the 4th day, with least larval weight (0.02 mg). Whereas, the consumption of 8000 ppm treated leaves reduced the larval (0.65 mg), pupal (1.26 mg), and adult weights (0.75 mg), with 10% adult malformation and extended larval duration. This is compared to untreated larval duration of 10.66 days. Thus, colloidal chitosan exhibits chronic toxicity and growth inhibition effect on P. xylostella larvae.
