The South American tomato pinworm, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick)(Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), is
a key pest in tomato crops worldwide. In Europe, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) …

Susceptibility to methoxyfenozide of Spodoptera littoralis (Boisduval)(Lepidoptera:

BACKGROUND The cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera is a worldwide insect pest with
the ability to develop resistance to many insecticides. Indoxacarb, a sodium channel blocker …

Susceptibility to tebufenozide and methoxyfenozide of beet armyworm [Spodoptera exigua

In this chapter, we review five members of a novel class of chemistry, the non-steroidal
bisacylhydrazine (BAH) compounds that are true agonists of the steroidal insect moulting …

The spinosyns are a unique family of insecticidal secondary metabolites produced by two
relatively rare species of soil-dwelling bacteria, Saccharopolyspora spinosa and …

BACKGROUND In holometabolous insects, the major developmental transitions–larval
molting and pupation–are triggered by a pulse of 20‐hydroxyecdysone (20E) and …
