Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The aphid Myzus persicae develops insensitivity to almost all classes of insecticides through target site mutations. The aim of this study was to assess the temporal and spatial distribution of resistant aphids that grow on peach trees and weeds, and establish the role of the secondary hosts as a reservoir of resistant genotypes. RESULTS: The frequency of genotypes (RR, RS, and SS) was affected by the...
