Buprofezin susceptibility survey, resistance selection and preliminary determination of the resistance mechanism in <i>Nilaparvata lugens</i> (Homoptera: Delphacidae)

Abstract

The results from this study indicate that N. lugens has the potential to develop high resistance to buprofezin. A resistance management program with rotation of buprofezin and other pesticides may efficiently delay or slow down resistance development in the insect. Further investigation is also necessary to understand the resistance mechanisms in N. lugens.
