When using the IRAC and GRM MoA Apps on your mobile devices, you will now be able to open the menu and select the Nematicide Classification or Structures poster using the links as an alternative to the normal insecticide and acaricide MoA. To revert back just use the menu once again….
The IRAC Mode of Action App in IOS and Android has been updated to include the latest changes to the MoA Classification (Ver. 9.3, June 2019). This incorporates some additional MoA Groups including bio-insecticides. The update also includes some additional features such as an active ingredient search and links to the latest IRAC News on the IRAC website….
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 is now available in Japanese as well as English…
The date of February 22nd has been set for the next face-to-face meeting of the IRAC Pollen Beetle WG.

In 2010 the IRAC Oilseed Rape Working Group in collaboration with multiple researchers located around Europe, continued to monitor the susceptibility status of pollen beetle samples to pyrethroid insecticides. A summary of the findings from this survey can be found on our 2010 pollen beetle monitoring poster. In order to help monitor potential susceptibility changes to other insecticides, new methods for monitoring pollen beetle susceptibility to neonicotinoids and organophosphates have also been drafted and these can be found on…
A great new booklet from IRAC giving some background on the biology of Tuta absoluta and outlining IRM guidelines to help manage this pest. A copy of the booklet can be downloaded from the IRAC website via the link: Tuta absoluta – The Tomato Leafminer or Tomato Borer Also just available from the website is the new IRAC Tuta absoluta Test Method video No. 022….
Four new susceptibility test methods for bed bugs, cockroaches, Jassids and rice stem borers have been validated and approved by the IRAC Test Methods Working Group. Details of the methods are available in the IRAC Test Methods Library with the option available to download the methods as pdf files….
The combined application of two insecticides with different modes of action (MoA) is an increasingly common approach to insect pest management. Insecticide mixtures (tank-mix or pre-formulated mixture) are applied to crops for pest management for many different reasons. These reasons include to broaden spectrum, to combine different technical characteristics of insecticides, or to combine two modes of action to control species where single compound applications do not provide sufficient control. Mixing insecticides, may also offer a benefit for insecticide…
In this issue we focus on mode of action (MoA) and its importance in insecticide resistance management (IRM). We present a review paper on IRM and the IRAC MoA Classification and summarize the changes that have been made to the latest version of the classification scheme. Download a copy of the newsletter for full details of these articles and find out more about MoA using the links below. View the IRAC eConnection Issue 36 Download the latest version of the…
