• Metabolic Resistance
Metabolic resistance is the most common mechanism.
Resistant insects may detoxify or destroy the toxin faster than
susceptible insects, or quickly rid their bodies of the toxic
molecules.
Insects use their internal enzyme systems to break down
insecticides.
Resistant strains may possess higher levels or more efficient
forms of these enzymes.

• Penetration Resistance
Outer cuticle of the insect slows the absorption of
a broad range of chemicals.
Penetration resistance is often present along with
other forms of resistance.
• Behavioral Resistance
Resistant insects may detect or recognize a danger
and avoid the toxin.
This mechanism of resistance has been reported
for several classes of insecticides, including
organochlorines, organophosphates, carbamates
and pyrethroids.

resistance?
• Over 550 species of arthropods are resistant to pesticides
88% insects, 12% mites
• Most of those insects come from 4 groups:
Coleoptera (Beetles)
Diptera (Flies)
Hemiptera (Sucking Bugs)
Lepidoptera (Moths & Butterflies)
• 60%+ of all resistant arthropods are agricultural pests
• Rest are:
animal health (ticks and lice)
public health (flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches)
stored product pests (grain beetles)
non-target organisms (predatory mites)

• Common claim that some insects are more prone to resistance
development than others.
• Exposure to insecticide is key factor.
• Some insects, do appear to develop resistance faster than other
species, even if insecticide exposure is the same.

IRAC’s Role
• IRAC-US is a task force affiliated to CropLife America.
IRAC is comprised of scientists representing many companies which develop
and market agricultural chemicals
Allows companies to effectively pool resources on IRM-related issues;
especially, with related chemistries or traits.
Individual companies do not have the resources to carry out all aspects of IRM

EPA’s Role
• For conventional pesticides, EPA has historically relied on voluntary
measures to encourage proactive resistance management by pesticide
users.
• IRAC-US has provided a list of key pests with high potential for
resistance and an insecticide resistance management plan to EPA
