Inheritance and fitness costs of sulfoxaflor resistance in Nilaparvata lugens (Stål).

Sulfoxaflor resistance in N. lugens was inherited as autosomal, incompletely recessive and multigene. The development of resistance may have a significant fitness cost for the resistant population. Current research provides valuable information for researchers to establish management strategies to delay the development of sulfoxaflor resistance and control N. lugens sustainably in the field. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.
