Methods Team Goals:
- Develop single point of contact for insecticide and acaricide resistance monitoring methods.
- Provide IRAC approved methods in order to steer researchers to use these validated methods, so that data generated by independent researchers can be compared directly.
Team Leader: Tatjana Sikuljak, BASF
The availability of standard, validated and easy-to-run, ‘IRAC-approved’ methods for resistance detection in the world’s major pests is crucial for successful monitoring of resistance problems, and IRAC has worked to make these available via its website and the online eMethods tool . The methods team is responsible for ensuring that IRAC has available a suite of up-to-date methods to meet this need. The team is also responsible for coordinating the development and validation of new methods and for preparing them for inclusion on the website and eMethods. This involves interaction with other IRAC Teams and cooperation with external experts in academia and institutes. The methods team has also agreed that it should include biochemical and molecular methodologies as well as references to other methods not validated by IRAC.
Download the IRAC methods using the links on the right hand side of the page. Alternatively use the eMethods tool to search for validated IRAC methods or links to references for methods published in the peer reviewed journals.
