Development of insecticide resistance can result from various mechanisms: increased ability for insecticide detoxification, decreased penetration/transport, or modification of the insecticide’s target site. The target site mutation table provides a comprehensive list of established target site mutations associated with published cases of insecticide resistance. Also added is an up to date list of published references […]
Earlier in 2020 the IRAC Sucking Pest WG developed a set of IRM guidelines as a text version. This has now been complemented with a new graphics version. Both the Text Version and the Graphics Version and can be downloaded from the IRAC website.

IRAC España ha emitido una nueva alerta sobre resistencias de Ceratitis capitata en cítricos. Desde hace varios años están descritos casos de resistencias de Ceratitis capitata a piretroides (MdA nº 3A), básicos en la estrategia de control de la mosca de la fruta en cítricos, tanto en trampas de captura masiva y/o técnicas de “atracción […]
Cases of Insecticide resistance associated with the cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii) have been reported since the mid-1960‘s. Resistance to organophosphate, carbamate, cyclodiene organochlorine and pyrethroid insecticides are considered as globally widespread. More recently there have been substantive reports of resistance to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor competitive modulators (IRAC group 4). This group of chemistries has […]
This module is designed to introduce the basic concepts behind the development and management of insecticide resistance in agricultural and horticultural crops. The presentation is targeted to those that may be being exposed to the concept of insecticide resistance for the first time or simply wishing to refresh their knowledge. More detailed information on the […]
In South Africa, it will be critically important to have a harmonised approach to IRM for FAW across the industry and across technologies. This approach should combine a clear and simple structured refuge policy which does not confuse growers between the requirements for FAW and maize stalk borers in South Africa, and which enables a […]
Conclusions from the program: An area wide insecticide rotation program is the best long term option to prolong efficacy of available insecticides for FAW management in Puerto Rico Developing and implementing area wide programs requires a lot of effort and coordination Area wide programs are a hard sell, getting 100% compliance on a voluntary basis […]
Growers in Canada can get ahead of insecticide resistance with the help of new resources on ManageResistanceNow.ca. The website, which compiles the most up-to-date knowledge on pesticide resistance in Canadian agriculture, now includes best practices for managing insecticide resistance. “More than one-third of Canadian growers are concerned about the rise of insecticide resistance in the next […]
The IRAC Mode of Action Working Group have developed a set of 74 slides as a MoA tutorial outlining the major mechanisms of insecticide resistance and, explaining with graphics, MoA by the targeted physiology affected using the broad categories of: Nerve and Muscle, Growth and Development, Respiration, Midgut and Unknown or Non-specific target sites or functions. This […]
