Is insecticide resistance a factor contributing to the increasing problems with Dalbulus maidis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) in Brazil?

The reduced susceptibility to pyrethroid and neonicotinoid insecticides likely explain the field failures in controlling D. maidis populations in Brazil. This study represents the first large-scale susceptibility monitoring of D. maidis to insecticides, and the results will contribute to decision-making regarding the management of this pest. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
