Field-evolved resistance and cross-resistance of the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, to bifenazate, cyenopyrafen and SYP-9625
Experimental and Applied Acarology 77 (4), 545-554
Abstract: The acaricide bifenazate acts as complex III inhibitor whereas cyenopyrafen and SYP-9625 act as complex II inhibitors. All these acaricides are commonly used to control two-spotted spider mite (TSSM), Tetranychus urticae Koch. We examined field-evolved and laboratory-selected resistance of TSSM to these three acaricides and determined cross-resistance among them. Six field populations of TSSM showed low levels of resistance to bifenazate with resistance ratios ranging from 2.20 to 10.65 compared to a susceptible strain. SYP-9625, structurally similar to cyenopyrafen, showed slightly higher activity to TSSMs but significant cross-resistance in both field populations and a laboratory-selected strain by SYP-9625. However, low levels of resistance to these two chemicals were found in field populations even when used for short time periods. Cross-resistance was not found between bifenazate and Complex II inhibitors, cyenopyrafen and SYP-9625, in both field populations and the laboratory-selected strain. Field-evolved resistance of TSSM to the tested acaricides is still low and should be delayed by the implementation of resistance management practices. Cross-resistance between cyenopyrafen and SYP-9625 is obvious, so they should not be used together in resistance management strategies based on mode of action rotation.
