Field‐evolved resistance to insecticides in the invasive western flower thrips <i>Frankliniella occidentalis</i> (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in China

Abstract

Variations in resistance to the tested insecticides were observed among the sampled population. Spinosad and spinetoram were the most efficient insecticides and are recommended for use in an integrated management programme. Resistance management strategies should be implemented to reduce the potential for resistance evolving. © 2015 Society of Chemical Industry.
