“…In southern Europe, R81T is well established in a band from southern Spain, through southern France to northern and central Italy, 17,22 and has recently been reported from Greece. 30 This distribution remains closely coincident with the cultivation of peach and closely related crops. Extensive monitoring has failed to detect its presence further north in Europe despite continuing and extensive reliance on neonicotinoids for aphid control in countries such as the UK.…”

“…In the last two decades, the chemical control of M. persicae depended highly on neonicotinoids, due to resistance to other insecticide groups. This group has been proved effective, although its excessive and extensive use has led to many cases of resistance development (Bass et al ., 2014, 2015; Voudouris et al ., 2017). The development of resistance has caused serious problems in crop protection.…”

The aphid Myzus persicae s.l. (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is an important pest of many crops worldwide with a complex life cycle, intensely controlled by chemical pesticides, and has developed resistance to almost all used insecticides. In Greece, the aphid exhibits high genetic variation and adaptability and it is a classic example of evolution in the making. We have been studying M. persicae for over 20 years, on different host plants and varying geographical areas, analyzing its bio-ecology and the ability to develop resistance to insecticides. In this review, we present new and historical data on the effectiveness of insecticides from seven chemical groups used to control the aphid in Greece and the incidence of seven resistance mechanisms, including the new fast-spreading R81T point mutation of the postsynaptic nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. Thousands of samples were tested by biological, biochemical and molecular assays. The aphid populations were found to have developed and maintain resistance at medium to high levels to organophosphates, carbamates, pyrethroids and neonicotinoids for decades. In the latter group, a marked increase is recorded during an ~10-year period. The data analyzed and the extensive bibliography, advocate the difficulty to control the aphid making the design and application of IPM/IRM programs a challenge. We discuss principles and recommendations for the management of resistance, including the use of compounds such as flonicamid, spirotetramat, flupyradifurone and sulfoxaflor. We emphasize that resistance is a dynamic phenomenon, changing in time and space, requiring, therefore, continuous monitoring.

“…Foster et al (2007), in their review, cite 13 resistant species, some of them being resistant to six different insecticide groups such as neonicotinoid, pyrethroid and organophosphate insecticides. Among these species important pests are included, such as: M. persicae (Margaritopoulos et al 2007;Kati et al 2014;Voudouris et al 2016Voudouris et al , 2017, A. gossyppii (Shi et al 2011;Herron and Wilson 2011), and Aphis fabae (Scopoli) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) (Ioannidis 2000).…”

Effect of synthetic insecticides on the larvae of Coccinella septempunctata from Greek populations

et al. 2017

Coccinella septempunctata L. is one of the most abundant ladybird species in Greece, preying on several aphid species and other arthropods, of which many are pests of cultivated plants. These pests are usually controlled with chemical insecticides. During this process, however, beneficials are also exposed to pesticides. The development of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs against aphids requires the evaluation of the effects of insecticides on beneficial insects. We evaluated the LD 50 of imidacloprid, acetamiprid, bifenthrin and deltamethrin on first, second, third and fourth instar larvae of C. septempunctata by topical application. Moreover, we studied their sublethal effects (LD 10 ) on the development, weight and prey consumption of fourth instar larvae. The topical application bioassays showed that deltamethrin and bifenthrin were highly toxic to all larval instars, whereas imidacloprid and acetamiprid were less toxic to fourth instar larvae. The LD 10 dose significantly affected, developmental time, adult weight and daily predation. These results show the importance of assessing potential effect of insecticides on C. septempunctata for developing effective IPM programs of aphids in Greece.
