Abstract
Detection of neonicotinoid resistance in populations of tobacco thrips, Frankliniella fusca Hinds, throughout the Southeastern US has motivated an examination of alternative insecticides to control problematic infestations on seedling cotton. The objective of this study was to refine understanding of stage-specific mortality and reduced oviposition of several common insecticides (acephate, abamectin, cyantraniliprole, spinetoram, imidacloprid, imidacloprid + thiodicarb, thiamethoxam) on neonicotinoid-resistant and susceptible F. fusca populations under laboratory and field conditions. Laboratory studies revealed that the average number of eggs per female and larval or adult survivorship responses differed by insecticide and were dependent on resistance status of the population. In the presence of neonicotinoids, the resistant F. fusca populations exhibited lower mortality and a higher egg counts than the susceptible population. In the field study, similar patterns of oviposition suppression were observed, indicating that some insecticides may impact reproductive rate. This study shows that insecticides have different effects on F. fusca oviposition events, larval and adult mortality that is dependent on neonicotinoid resistance status. Because insecticides tested in this study have varied activity on specific F. fusca life-stages (e.g., oviposition suppression, larvicidal activity, adulticidal activity), knowledge of stage-specific activity can be used to improve control and enhance long-term product stewardship.Keywords
