Abstract: Multi-bioinsecticidal-toxin BtA is a bioconjugation product with multiple acting-sites, formed by biochemical bond-linking reaction between two biotoxins, protoxin of Bacillus thuringiensis and Abamectin, through the amino and carboxyl conjugator EDC. The variation of pest susceptibility to Multi-bioinsecticidal-toxin BtA was evaluated by studying the decline and recovery of susceptibility of Plutella xylostella L. to BtA and the susceptibility diversity of P. xylostella populations collected from different regions. The results showed that the susceptibilities of the relatively susceptible lab population were stable to BtA and its two reactants, Bt crystal and Abamectin, with LC50s of 0.0004-0.0020mg/ml. Under the selection pressure, the pest susceptibility reduced, with Resistance Ratio (RR) of 2.29 to BtA after 2 generations comparing with 8.35 and 22.5 to Bt crystal and Abamectin respectively. While the field population was released from the selection pressure, the pest susceptibility increased 4.7-fold to BtA after 2 generations in comparison to 1.28-fold Bt crystal and 2.00-fold to Abamectin. The P. xylostella from seven regions of Fujian province represented polymorphism of susceptibility, while the RRs to BtA, Bt crystal and Abamectin were 1.18~6.85, 1.22~23.93 and 1.58~4.77 respectively. The result of cluster analysis displayed that P. xylostella in middle part of Fujian province had lower susceptibility. It was concluded that the Multi-bioinsecticidal-toxin BtA could help to delay the resistance development, reduce the resistance and rapidly recovery of pest susceptibility.
