Insecticide resistance management of <i>Bemisia tabaci</i> (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) in Australian cotton – pyriproxyfen, spirotetramat and buprofezin

Abstract

In Australian cotton, B. tabaci pest management is challenged by ongoing resistance to pyriproxyfen, while resistance to spirotetramat is an emerging issue. The addition of buprofezin provides a new mode-of-action for whitefly pest management, which will strengthen the existing insecticide resistance management strategy. © 2023 Commonwealth of Australia.
