Asia Group Key Objectives: Work with HRAC and FRAC to develop resistance management guidelines Continue working cross-industry with regulatory bodies in different countries on MoA labelling Provide technical guidance on developing management practices based on RM principles for fall armyworm Useful Links: Michigan State University Arthropod Pesticide Resistance Database (APRD)…
With the continued global spread of transgenic crops expressing insect-control traits, IRAC has a major role to provide education on IRM in this area and to promote the implementation of effective IRM strategies. In particular, in those countries where no collaborative organisation currently existed, it was agreed that IRAC could play an especially useful role in helping to ensure that good IRM practices are understood and followed. The team has an on-going activity to identify and work with appropriate bodies…
…new global focus of the team. Published paper with IRAC pollen beetle monitoring results: Slater R. et al, Pyrethroid resistance monitoring in European populations of pollen beetle (Meligethes spp.): a coordinated approach through the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC). Pest Manag Sci. 2011 Jun;67(6):633-8. Team Objectives: To expand the remit of the team to include prioritised activties against a wider range of coleoptera pests. To provide researchers, validated methods for measuring the susceptibility of coleopteran pests. To provide summarised information…

IRAC-US was the first Country Group organized after the formation of IRAC International in 1984. It is set up as a task force within CropLife America which is classified as a not-for-profit organisation (i.e. a 501(c)6 organization termed a business league not engaged in any regular for-profit business). The purpose of IRAC-US is two fold: first, to facilitate education and communication on insecticide resistance, and second, to promote the development of resistance management strategies to preserve the efficacy of crop…
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 high grower compliance. There are several commercialised Bt-products in South Africa which are very similar. This approach is in the best interests of the seed…
