Abstract excerpt
Control of the beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua depends heavily on chemical insecticides. Chlorpyrifos, an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor, has been used in beet armyworm control for many years in China. Here we describe high level resistance to chlorpyrifos in a S. exigua strain, FX19-R, which was developed from a field-collected Chinese strain (FX) by selection with chlorpyrifos in the laboratory. FX19-R...
