[Insecticide resistance of Bemisia tabaci field populations].

Resistance to 13 insecticides in field populations of Bemisia tabaci from six regions (Fuzhou, Zhangzhou, Longyan, Sanming, Nanping, Ningde) of Fujian Province, China was monitored by adult leaf-dipping bioassay. Compared with the susceptible SUD-S strain, all the six field populations exhibited high levels of resistance to lambda-cyhalothrin (838.38-2460.52 fold), fenpropathrin (244.64-834.29 fold), cypermethrin (116.02-266.35 fold), deltamethrin (81.75-124.18 fold), acephate (425.18-875.56 fold) and chlorpyrifos (54.53-78.43 fold), moderate levels of resistance to dimethoate (14.16-17.66 fold), low to moderate levels of resistance to dichlorvos (6.23-11.25 fold) and low levels of resistance to methomyl (4.07-5.66 fold), respectively. Among these six field-collected populations, only Zhangzhou population had moderate resistance to imidacloprid, acetamiprid and thiamethoxam (23.08 fold, 10.32 fold and 24.60 fold, respectively). All field strains tested displayed no resistance to abamectin.
