Dow AgroSciences has a long history of proactive insecticide resistance management efforts. In our experience, the key to managing resistance is to reduce selection pressure on any one mode-of-action by convincing farmers to rotate among effective insecticide products with different modes of action and to use only the number of insecticide applications required for effective Integrated Pest Management (IPM). To accomplish this, farmers may need to use non-chemical control methods and to rotate to insecticide products that are effective but may not provide the highest levels of control. Integrating rotation of effective insecticides with other IPM techniques can provide high quality and quantity of the harvested crop. We will share our experience managing spinosyn resistance with a series of best management practices for western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande) and our resistance management recommendations for ISOCLASTTM (sulfoxaflor), our new insecticide for control of sap-feeding insect pests. Dow AgroSciences is an active member of the IRAC (Insecticide Resistance Action Committee) and strongly supports the placement of IRAC mode-of-action group numbers on insecticide product labels. This simple approach greatly facilitates effective product rotation. Resistance management is critical to maintaining the effectiveness of the current arsenal of conventional insecticides and transgenic insect-resistant crops for as long as possible. Responsibility for resistance management is shared between manufacturers, formulator-distributors, retailers, influencers (universities, government), and farmers. It is up to all of us to make sure all stakeholders, and especially farmers, fully understand the benefits associated with insecticide resistance management (IRM) programs and the consequences associated with the resistance development in insect pest populations. ™ Trademark of The Dow Chemical Company ('DOW') or an affiliated company of Dow.
