IRAC Test Methods for Myzus persicae nymphs (No. 023) and for Aphis gossypii nymphs (No. 024), both for use with the MoA Group 28 active, cyantraniliprole, have been developed and posted on the website by the IRAC Methods Team. The methods are available for downloaded from the IRAC website via the links: Method No. 023 and Method No. 024.

Team Leader: Veronica Companys, Bayer CropScience
The Diamide Team was formed in April 2008. Chlorantraniliprole and flubendiamide are the two active ingredients in IRAC Mode of Action Group 28 and both have only recently been registered for first commercial uses in some countries. Because there has not yet been any very significant use of these compounds, the Diamide Team is thus in a unique position to cooperate and develop agreed proactive IRM strategies that should help to prevent or delay the development of resistance.

The Tomato Leafminer Tuta absoluta is a pest of great economic importance with high reproduction capabilities and short generation life cycle which makes it at risk of developing resistance. The pest has spread from L. America, where there is already resistance to a range of MOA groups, to Europe, the Middle East and N. Africa. Using the Tuta absoluta poster IRAC is taking pro-active steps to advise on key management strategies to evaluate and reduce the spread of resistance.
