Behavioural avoidance and enhanced dispersal in neonicotinoid‐resistant <i>Myzus persicae</i> (Sulzer)

Abstract

The altered dispersal behaviour of the FRC may partially account for the high level of neonicotinoid resistance exhibited by this strain in the field. Since the dispersal of aphid vectors is key to the transmission of viruses across crop fields this has implications for current crop protection practice.
