…hundreds of available insecticides brands, to use. Product rotation should be associated with insect generations and the product’s mode of action (MoA) which is indicated by IRAC group numbers. The product MoA should be printed on product labels in a standardized manner, including essential information on IRM, as proposed by IRAC and CropLife International. So far, MoA labelling is still only optional for VN manufacturers. IRAC VN, in association with CropLife VN, are engaging to help farmers to better manage…
(Incorporating the OSR & Pollen Beetle Groups) Pyrethroid resistance has been recorded in European populations of the pollen beetle (Meligethes aeneus) since 1999, when it was first reported in Eastern France. Pyrethroid insecticides have long been favoured as the method of control for insect pests of oilseed rape and a lack of alternative insecticides with different modes of action, has ensured a continued high selection pressure for pyrethroid resistance. This has lead to the spread of resistant pollen beetle across…

No doubt it was an effective way to raise awareness of the IRAC Nematicides Mode of Action classification scheme and it will help facilitate adoption and awareness of this material around the world….
