Abstract

Background: A survey of insecticide resistance in over 150 Canadian populations of Colorado potato beetle was completed between 2008 and 2011. Three neonicotinoid and two anthranilic diamide insecticides were tested at a discriminating concentration (DC) with second-instar larvae in a leaf-disc bioassay.

Results: The mean mortality for the imidacloprid (Admire) DC was 46-67% between 2008 and 2011 respectively. Over the 4 years, 10-46% and 26-40% of the populations were classified as resistant or showed reduced susceptibility to imidacloprid. The mean mortality for thiamethoxam (Actara) and clothianidin (Poncho/Titan) ranged from 56-76% in 2008 to 81-84% in 2010 for each insecticide respectively, indicating continuous susceptibility to clothianidin but reduced susceptibility to thiamethoxam. In 2008 and 2009, susceptibility to chlorantraniliprole (Coragen) was observed in 85% of populations. Similarly, cyantraniliprole (Cyazypyr) affected 93% of the 2009 and 74% of the 2010 populations. There was a significant (P < 0.05) and high positive correlation (R = 0.4-0.84) between the three neonicotinoids, indicating the potential for cross-resistance.

Conclusions: The trend observed in decreasing susceptibility for thiamethoxam and clothianidin will continue unless resistance management practices are followed.
