Characterisation of field‐evolved resistance to chlorantraniliprole in the diamondback moth, <i>Plutella xylostella</i>, from China

Abstract

Field-evolved resistance to chlorantraniliprole in P. xylostella confers strong cross-resistance to flubendiamide, so both compounds should be well separated and not alternated in resistance management strategies. High-level resistance to chlorantraniliprole in the ZC population was incompletely recessive and not stable. Metabolic detoxification was involved in chlorantraniliprole resistance in the ZC-R strain to some extent, but target-site resistance could not be excluded. © 2012 Society of Chemical Industry.
