Cross‐resistance, inheritance and biochemical mechanism of abamectin resistance in a field‐derived strain of the citrus red mite, <scp><i>Panonychus citri</i></scp> (Acari: Tetranychidae)

Abstract

The abamectin resistance was autosomal, incompletely recessive and polygenic in P. citri. The NN-Aba strain showed cross-resistance to various acaricides with different modes of action. Metabolic detoxification mechanism participated in abamectin resistance in NN-Aba strain. These findings provide useful information for resistance management of P. citri in the field. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.
