"Tobacco whitefly, Bemisia tabaci is an important polyphagous insect pest which has developed resistance to various insecticides worldwide. This study analyzed the susceptibility of recommended insecticides for four populations of B. tabaci in central and southern Taiwan. In addition, the biochemical mechanisms of resistance were explored based on synergism test. First of all, the leaf-dip bioassay was used to test the susceptibility of B. tabaci to cartap, abamectin, pymetrozine, thiamethoxam, clothianidin, cyhalothrin and methiocarb collected from four areas (Jiuru、Qishan、Houbi and Ershui). The result indicated that these four populations of B. tabaci have developed moderate to high degree of resistances against several chemical classes of insecticide, except to the cartap. Next, each of different synergists was mixed with abamectin, clothianidin, pymetrozine, cyhalothrin, and methiocarb separately to evaluate the possible the biochemical mechanisms for insecticide resistance. The results suggested that the resistance of B. tabaci to abamectin, pymetrozine and cyhalothrin are related to mixed function oxidase which was suppressed by piperonyl butoxide. Carboxylesterase is involved in the resistance of B. tabaci to methiocarb in these tested four populations based on the significant reduction of resistance with use of triphenyl phosphate." |
