Thirty-minute test to detect insecticide resistance under field conditions: the case of the Asian citrus psyllid.

Background: Diaphorina citri Kuwayama is one of the most destructive citrus pests worldwide. It is controlled mainly through applications of conventional insecticides. Methodologies used to estimate resistance to insecticides do not correlate with field efficacy, and do not provide timely and reliable information to make decisions at a site where spraying is needed.
