RESISTANCE MONITORING FOR SIX INSECTICIDES IN VEGETABLE FIELD-COLLECTED POPULATIONS OF SPODOPTERA LITURA FROM CHINA

Resistance Monitoring for Six Insecticides in Vegetable Field-Collected Populations of Spodoptera litura from China

The common cutworm, Spodoptera litura (Fabricius), is a notorious and damaging insect pest of horticultural crops in China, the management of which largely relies on chemical agents that are limited by the read more development of chemical resistance in target populations.As such, resistance monitoring of S.litura populations is a necessary part of
