Control failure risk, resistance and enzymatic activity of neurotoxic insecticides in Brazilian populations of <scp> <i>Leucoptera coffeella</i> </scp> ( <scp>L</scp> epidoptera: <scp>L</scp> yonetiidae)
Our findings demonstrate widespread resistance and altered enzymatic activity in L. coffeella populations across Brazilian coffee-growing regions. These results highlight the urgent need to incorporate resistance monitoring and alternative control strategies into integrated pest management programs to ensure sustainable coffee production. © 2026 The Author(s).
