| pubmed-article:19367570 | pubmed:abstractText | Methoxyfenozide is a lepidopteran-specific insecticide that belongs to a new group of insecticides, the non-steroidal ecdysteroid agonists, also called moulting accelerating compounds (MACs). To investigate the risk of resistance and possible mechanisms conferring resistance to methoxyfenozide, the authors selected in the laboratory for a resistant strain of the cotton leafworm Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd.), which is a representative lepidopteran model and an important pest in cotton and vegetables worldwide, with a high risk for resistance development. | lld:pubmed |
