Abstract
Codling moth populations from Emilia-Romagna orchards with difficulties in pest control have been studied combining biochemical and molecular tests, bioassays and small scale field trials. Biochemical assays aimed to evaluate EST, GST and MFO activities, put in evidence that the field populations examined have mainly developed a MFO detoxifying response, in some cases supported by EST and/or GST contributes. A direct sequencing strategy of the AChE-1 gene showed that none of the analyzed strains possessed target-site mutations within AChE-1 sequence. Field trials and bioassays revealed that increased MFO was frequently associated to a reduction of IGR sensibility (tebufenozide and diflubenzuron) and, in less extend, to chlorpyrifos.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
