Current situation and forecasting of resistance evolution to lambda-cyhalothrin in Spanish medfly populations.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The control of the Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) in Spanish field populations mainly relies on the insecticides lambda-cyhalothrin and spinosad as bait sprays. However, their sustainable used is compromised by the development of lambda-cyhalothrin resistance and the detection of spinosad resistant alleles. In addition, the use of lure-and-kill traps covered with deltamethrin has increased in the last years. It is thus urgent to predict the impact that the combination of both pyrethroids will have in the evolution of lambda-cyhalothrin resistance and how they could be combined with spinosad so as to establish proper resistance management programs.

Results

Toxicity bioassays were performed to analyze the current levels of lambda-cyhalothrin
