What is “Insecticide resistance” ?

A heritable change in the sensitivity of a pest population that is reflected in the repeated failure of a product to achieve the expected level of control when used according to the label recommendation for that pest species

2.Management by Saturation2.Management by Saturation

The term "saturation" does not imply saturation of the environment with pesticides.

It is intended to indicate saturation of the insect's defenses by means of on-target dosages that are high enough to overcome resistance.

This approach has more merit during the early stages of selection when resistance genes are rare, existing mainly in the heterozygous state.

Formulations that could deliver high dosages on-target include Microencapsulation AttractantsBaited targets causing insecticide uptake at rates that are lethal to heterozygotes.

These can attract the insects and with the high doses they will die including the resistance

3.Management by multiple attack

The multiple attack strategy is based on the premise that control can be achieved through the action of several independently acting stresses, including insecticides, each exerting selection pressure that is below the level which could lead to résistance.

Insecticide rotation. The same insecticide should not used for a long time

particularly when resistance has been detected. Insects resistant to one insecticide may not be resistant to

another. After a time lag the lost susceptibility to the first insecticide

returns.

2.Use of Syngergists 2.Use of Syngergists

Resistance to insecticides in insects develops due to their ability to degrade the insecticides into inactive compounds by detoxifying enzymes .

To ovecome this resistance compounds that can block the action of the detoxifying enzymes should be added to the insecticides.

These inhibitory compounds we called synergists allow the insecticide to function normaly only by blocking their inhibitory enzymes and do not in reality enhance the potency of the insectiides

Eg:Piperonylcyclone when mixed with DDT prevents its detoxification to DDE in the resisitant strain house flies and these keeps them susceptible to DDT.

A + SYNERGIST SYNERGIST

Piperonyl Cyclone does not increase the toxicity of the DDT in DDT susceptible houseflies , which it should do.

The reason is that in the susceptible strain the detoxifying enzymes on which the synergist would act are missing.

The WARF of the USA has developed a substance WARF antiresistant that can block DDT Dehydrochlorinase (the enzyme that detoxifies the DDT in houseflies ) and thus prevent the conversion of DDT to DDE and retain the insects susceptiblility to this insecticide.

As control agents, synergists can potentially render resistant populations susceptible and or prevent the development of resistance.

Synergists can be less active on predators than on pests.

Synergists are among the most straightforward tools for overcoming metabolic resistance because they can directly inhibit the resistance mechanism itself .

Detoxification mechanisms are mixed function oxidases (MFO). Consequently, most insecticide synergists are inhibitors of this group.

For the purpose of field efficacy the SR90 is the more important value because, in most cases, at least 90% mortality is required for acceptable control.

For research purposes, however, the SR50 is the most meaningful value

Increasing amounts of this herbicide and constant amounts of some insecticides, increasing mortalities of insects were observed.

3.Mixtures

Mixtures increase the level of target pest control and/or broadening the range of pests controlled.

Most Mixtures are not primarily used for purposes of Insect Resistance management (IRM).

The rotation of insecticide modes of action is considered The most effective IRM approach. Insecticide mixtures may offer benefits for IRM when

appropriately incorporated into rotation strategies with additional mode(s) of action, but generally A single mixture should not be relied upon alone.

What should be followed for mixing of the insecticides?What should be followed for mixing of the insecticides?

Individual insecticides selected for use in mixtures should be highly effective and be applied at the rates at which they are individually registered for against the target species.

Mixtures with components having the same IRAC mode of action Classification are not recommended for IRM.

When using mixtures, consider any known cross- resistance issues ‐between the individual components for the targeted pest/s.

Mixtures become less effective if resistance is already developing to one or both active ingredients, but they may still provide pest management benefits.

The IRM benefits of an insecticide mixture are greatest if the two components have similar periods of residual insecticidal activity.

Mixtures of insecticides with unequal periods of residual insecticide activity may offer an IRM benefit for the period where both insecticides are active.

A mixture of two insecticides and independent action has been suggeted as a counter measure for the resistance.

Eg. A BHC – DDT mixture against malaria mosquitoes (BHC is for DDT resistant survivors and DDT is for BHC resistant survivors).

However in such cases it takes the a much shorter time for the insects to turn the resistant to both the compounds than what it would take if they are used separately

Just as pheromones modulate insect behaviour, hormones regulate growth and reproduction in insects.

Both these processes can be interfered with by providing exogenous hormones at wrong times that is when they are not needed by the insect system .

There should be a constant attempt to search for newer insecticides.

This will make a large number of insecticides available for substitution when particular insecticides fails t kill.

By treating border rows only (for pests that migrate into your planting from outside) and localized "hot spots" where pest numbers are over the action threshold.

You leave large areas unsprayed for susceptible pests to survive.

These areas can be treated at a later date, if thresholds are reached.

8. INTEGRATED APPROACH:

An integrated approach to the control of insect pests will reduce the application of the insecticides which in turn will lower insecticides pressure on the insects under such a condition genes governing resistance may not get activated or may take a longer time to do so and keep resistance postponed for some time

Pheromones regulate the insect behaviour. By using of the sex pheromones insects could be driven to

poison baits and they will die. By providing the aggregation pheromones they could be

driven to the wrong host plants where they would starve and die.

Secure® or Success® use from 1 Sep until 31 Jan. Regent®, Proclaim® or Avatar ® use from 1 Feb until 31

Aug. Labels of new products place a limit on the number of

applications to be used. If further control is required on one planting, different groups from within the same window should be rotated.

It is important to monitor crops regularly for DBM. Do not use mixtures of insecticides for controlling DBM. Use of the biological insecticide, Bt, in the early stages of

crop development is encouraged. Good crop hygiene, such as use of clean seedlings and the

prompt working in of harvested crops, will reduce your DBM problems.

Spatially separated applications of different compounds against the same insect constitute a “mosaic” approach to resistance management. by using two insecticides in different dwellings within the same village. This creates the potential for insects within a single generation to come into contact with both insecticides, and would reduce the rate of resistance selection, provided that multiple resistance within the vector population was extremely rare. If such a fine scale mosaic is to be used, careful records of which insecticide was used in each house are essential
