Target site mutations underlying insecticide resistance in Tunisian populations of <i>Myzus persicae</i> (Sulzer) on peach orchards and potato crops

Abstract

This study points out a critical situation for the efficacy of pyrethroid insecticides to control M. persicae populations in Tunisia. It also confirms the rapid spread of the M918L mutation which has been detected in many different areas of the Mediterranean basin. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
