Chemical control is one of the most used methods for agricultural pest, aspersion being the most employed form of pesticide application. Water is the most commonly used solvent for this purpose. In this regard, the study aimed to evaluate the influence of water with different pH, hardness, and electrical conductivity (E.C.) values on the efficacy of three commercial pesticide formulations (Chlorfenapyr, Lufenuron, and Emamectin Benzoate) for the control of Spodoptera frugiperda. Third-stage larvae of S. frugiperda reared in the laboratory were used for the evaluation. The effective dose of each pesticide was determined to achieve between 85 and 95% mortality in the treated population using the leaf immersion method with Ricinus communis leaves to apply the insecticide solutions. Water samples were collected from two agroexporting companies in Ica valley, as water in the area presents some characteristics considered inadequate by producers for pesticide application, leading to the use of additional additives. Distilled water was also used as a control (Field 1: pH 7.6; hardness 121 ppm; E.C. 2.4 dS/m; Field 2: pH 6.6; hardness 575 ppm; E.C. 8.4 dS/m; Distilled water: pH 7; hardness 1 ppm; E.C. 0.0005 dS/m). The insecticide solutions were prepared using these waters, and the effect of the mixing time on the efficacy of the insecticides was evaluated after 72 hours. The bioassays were conducted at different time intervals (0, 12, and 24 hours) after the preparation of the solutions. The results showed no significant differences in the control of S. frugiperda concerning the evaluated water characteristics. Therefore, pH, hardness, and E.C. of the water used for application do not influence the performance of Chlorfenapyr, Lufenuron, and Emamectin Benzoate on S. frugiperda.
