The availability of standard, validated and easy-to-run methods for resistance detection in the world’s major insect pests is crucial for successful monitoring of resistance problems. Shown below are the IRAC Approved Test Methods which have been validated by IRAC member companies and collaborators to ensure that they provide reliable and reproducible data.

Most tests are specific to particular life-history stages and can only be used with confidence for toxicants which have been validated in the development of the methodology.  For more information please visit the IRAC Methods Team page.
