Descripción:	Abstract: Insecticides based on baculoviruses have become an alternative for pest control in different agricultural crops. The aim of this study was to assess the biological activity of the bioinsecticide Cartugen™ (SfMNPV: Baculoviridae: Alphabaculovirus) on larvae of Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) resistant to Bt corn expressing the insecticidal proteins Cry1A.105+Cry2Ab2+Cry1F. In addition, we assessed the efficiency of SfMNPV on S. frugiperda control in the field from natural infestation of the pest during two agricultural seasons. The results showed that no larvae survived 10 days after being inoculated with Bt and non-Bt corn leaves contaminated with 1.50 × 1010 occlusion bodies (OBs)/L (equivalent to the recommended dose of the product). However, when using doses equivalent to 50% (7.50 × 109 OBs/L) and 25% (3.75 × 109 OBs/L), the larval mortality ranged from 21.12% to 46.55%, respectively. Although larvae resistant to the Cry1A.105+Cry2Ab2+Cry1F proteins, when exposed to 50% of the SfMNPV dose (7.50 × 109 OBs/L), showed reductions in larval weight (52 to 67% reduction), pupal weight (32 to 59% reduction), and total fecundity (67 to 86% reduction) compared to the control. Furthermore, doses above 25% (3.75 × 109 OBs/L−1) caused a population decrease in the growth of the species in both Bt and non-Bt corn according to the fertility life table. In the field, at 7 and 10 DAA (days after application), corn plants sprayed with SfMNPV (1.50 × 1010 OBs/L) showed reductions in leaf damage according to the Davis scale. However, from 14 to 21 DAA, there was an increase in leaf damage in corn leaves from both treatments, with or without the application of SfMNPV. This shows that SfMNPV may be an important strategy in the integrated management and resistance management of S. frugiperda.
