Susceptibility of standard clones and European field populations of the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae, and the cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii (Hemiptera: Aphididae), to the novel anthranilic diamide insecticide cyantraniliprole

Abstract

Cyantraniliprole is currently the only anthranilic diamide (IRAC MoA 28) insecticide targeting aphid species such as M. persicae and A. gossypii. There is no evidence to suggest that the performance of this compound is affected by commonly occurring mechanisms that confer resistance to other insecticide chemistries. Cyantraniliprole is therefore a valuable tool for managing insecticide resistance in these globally important pests.

Movement of cyantraniliprole in plants after foliar applications and its impact on the control of sucking and chewing insects

“…Some hemipteran targets that are known to be resistant to commercial insecticides have been shown to have a lack of cross‐resistance to cyantraniliprole. These include both B and Q biotypes of Bemisia tabaci and a clonal strain of both Aphis gossypii and Myzus persicae resistant to several classes of insecticides, with the latter also having reduced sensitivity to neonicotinoids . Given that cyantraniliprole is the third diamide to be commercialized but the first that has activity on both sucking and chewing targets, it will be crucial for integrated pest management and insect resistance management to be practiced for these compounds to remain an option for farmers …”

Effects of cyantraniliprole, a novel anthranilic diamide insecticide, against Asian citrus psyllid under laboratory and field conditions

“…Cyantraniliprole is effective against a range of insect pests of various host plants . This insecticide not only has been effective in the management of insect pests but also may have less impact on natural enemies than traditional broad‐spectrum chemistries.…”

The story of a new insecticidal chemistry class: the diamides

“…Two compounds have been launched onto the market, and others will follow in the coming years. As this class is already very successful, one major challenge of the future will be to manage the resistance, which is already appearing in the field. The research in the field of the diamides has also opened the door to novel classes of insecticides such as the oxazolines ( 14 ) (Fig.…”
