Insecticide Resistance in Heliothis Armigera (hübner) (lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in the Namoi Valley of New South Wales, Australia

Year: 1975

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT Heliothis armigera damaged cotton in the Namoi Valley in summer‐autumn 1973. In laboratory studies larvae exhibited several hundredfold resistance to DDT, 15‐fold to DDT/chlorcam (1:2) mixture and 30‐fold to endrin compared with a susceptible strain from Bathurst. The Namoi Valley larvae were found to be 5 times less susceptible than Bathurst larvae to parathion methyl, a difference which may be no more than normal variation between non‐resistant strains. No resistance to insecticides was demonstrated in H. punctigera Wallengren from the Namoi Valley.
