Mixtures of neonicotinoid and ketoenol insecticides at different ratios effectively enhance the toxicity to neonicotinoids in resistant pest populations. The combination of certain neonicotinoids with spiromesifen or spirotetramat at specific ratios can restore the neonicotinoid susceptibility in B. tabaci.
Cotton whitefly, Bemisia tabaci is an important polyphagous pest worldwide. It is exposed to various chemical insecticides throughout the year, resulting in the rapid development of insecticide resistance. Mixtures of insecticides with distinct modes of action could enhance the toxicity of chemicals more effectively than sequences or rotations in resistant pest populations. Bioassays were conducted to study the efficacy of mixtures of neonicotinoid and ketoenol insecticides at different ratios against a laboratory susceptible (Lab-WB) and a neonicotinoid resistant (TMX-SEL) strain of B. tabaci Asia I. The results showed that mixtures of imidacloprid, acetamiprid, thiamethoxam or dinotefuran with spiromesifen at 1:1, 1:10 and 1:20 ratios and of imidacloprid, thiamethoxam or dinotefuran with spirotetramat at 1:1 ratio significantly increased (p < 0.05) toxicity to neonicotinoids in TMX-SEL strain. The combination indices of each tested neonicotinoids + ketoenols at 1:1 ratio and of acetamiprid + spiromesifen, and imidacloprid or dinotefuran + spirotetramat at 1:10 ratio for TMX-SEL strain were significantly below 1, suggesting synergistic interactions. The inhibitors PBO and DEF largely overcame resistance to the tested neonicotinoids, while none of the synergists significantly restored the susceptibility of B. tabaci to ketoenols. Increased activities of P450 monooxygenase and esterase were observed in TMX-SEL strain with an elevated 2.76 and 1.32-fold, respectively. Mixtures of neonicotinoids with spiromesifen or spirotetramat at a 1:1 ratio could be used to restore the neonicotinoid susceptibility in B. tabaci.
