Resistance to Two Classes of Insecticides in Southern Chinch Bugs (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae)
Abstract
Southern chinch bugs were tested from 10 locations in Florida to determine possible resistance to 4 insecticides. Resistance of varying degrees was found in all 4 insecticides: bifenthrin, deltamethrin, imidacloprid, and lambda-cyhalothrin. This study is the first to show southern chinch bug resistance to the latter 3 insecticides. Our data also show that multiple locations are necessary for insecticidal testing for southern chinch bugs since results from 1 location can be very misleading.View this article in BioOne
