Use of the synergist piperonyl butoxide slows the development of insecticide resistance in the whitefly Bemisia tabaci
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In the current study we examined the speed of resistance development in the silverleaf whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, after selection with either a neonicotinoid (thiacloprid) or pyrethroid (alpha-cypermethrin) insecticide alone or in combination with PBO. We used one control sample with no selection, 2 samples for neonicotinoid (thiacloprid) and Pyrethroid treatment and 2 samples for neonicotinoid (thiacloprid) + PBO and Pyrethroid + PBO treatments. The findings of this study demonstrate that PBO used in combination with certain insecticides can suppress the development of resistance in a laboratory setting.
