Long-term pesticide-driven selection pressure is one of the main causes of insect outbreaks. In this study, we found that low doses of triflumezopyrim could increase the fecundity of white-backed planthoppers (). By continuously screening 20 generations with a low dose of triflumezopyrim, a triflumezopyrim-resistant strain (Tri-strain, resistance ratio = 20.

Background: Spodoptera litura is one of the major agricultural pests in China, and it has developed serious resistance to many traditional chemical insecticides. In the present study, the bistrifluron-resistant (Bis-SEL) strain accompanied by a higher oviposition, 113.8-fold RR compared to the bistrifluron-susceptible (Bis-UNSEL) strain, was obtained by bidirectional screening.
