Afidopyropen, a novel insecticide, is a derivative of pyripyropene A, which is produced by the filamentous fungus Penicillium coprobium. Afidopyropen has strong insecticidal activity against aphids and is currently used as a control agent of sucking pests worldwide. In this study, we summarized the biological properties and field efficacies of its derivatives against agricultural pests using official field trials conducted in Japan. Afidopyropen showed good residual efficacies against a variety of aphids, whiteflies and other sucking pests under field conditions. Furthermore, toxicological studies revealed its safety profiles against nontarget organisms, such as the honeybee, natural enemies and other beneficial insects, as well as mammals. Thus, afidopyropen is a next-generation agrochemical for crop protection that has a low environmental impact.

Dimpropyridaz as a novel insecticide is registered for the management of many aphid species and other piercing-sucking insects. For the aim to clarify the susceptibility of natural population and the resistance risk of dimpropyridaz in Aphis gossypii in China, the baseline susceptibility, risk assessment, changes of insecticides sensitivity and fitness after selection of dimpropyridaz in A. gossypii were evaluated in present study.

Background: Selective tools, including selective insecticides and transgenic cotton, have been crucial in reducing insecticide usage within the integrated pest management (IPM) plan for Arizona cotton. To guide growers effectively, cotton field trials evaluated the effects of the novel insecticides, isocycloseram and afidopyropen against our primary pests, Bemisia argentifolii and Lygus hesperus, and their impacts on nontarget arthropods, including key predators: Collops spp., Orius tristicolor, Geocoris spp.

Bemisia tabaci is one of the most destructive agricultural insect pests around the world, and it has developed high levels of resistance to most pesticides. Dimpropyridaz, a novel insecticide developed by BASF, displays excellent activity against piercing-sucking insect pests. In this study, baseline of susceptibility showed all tested field populations of B.
