Field‐evolved resistance in <scp><i>Phthorimaea absoluta</i></scp> to abamectin: genetic foundations, female‐linked traits, and cross‐resistance pattern
Phthorimaea absoluta resistance to abamectin in Brazilian populations is notably high, yet few populations are nearing control failure. The resistance pattern, characterized by incomplete recessiveness, polyfactorial inheritance and maternal linkage, underscores the complexity of managing resistance. Additionally, the broad spectrum of cross-resistance with other insecticides suggests diverse mechanisms at play, emphasizing the need for tailored control and resistance management strategies within this insecticide class. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
