MECHANISMS OF INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE IN COTTON JASSID AMRASCA BIGUTTULA (ISHIDA) (HOMOPTERA: CICADELLIDAE)
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Cotton jassid, Amrascabiguttula (Ishida) (Homoptera: Cicadelliate) is the key sucking pest of American cotton and has the capability of inflicting heavy losses to the crop Development of resistance in insect pests to insecticides is a natural phenomenon. Realizing the significance of assessing resistance development to insecticides, the experiments to study the mechanism of insecticide resistance revealed that, the activity of general esterases increased through successive 5 generations from 395.833 to 4625.000 n mole of α naphthol formed/min/g of jassid against oxydemetonmethyl and imidacloprid selection pressure. The AchE activity was less than general esterases.
