Abstract
Rice stink bug, Oebalus pugnax F. is a pest of rice that impacts quality of grain. Pyrethroid insecticides are the main control method. However, there is concern that pyrethroid insecticides are not providing adequate control, due to development of insecticide resistance. With this in mind, efforts were focused on monitoring rice stink bug resistance to λ-cyhalothrin, a common pyrethroid, and obtaining baseline data for a new chemistry of insecticides, a neonicotinoid (dinotefuran), for rice stink bug. For the purposes of the research presented here the adult vial test was used for monitoring λ-cyhalothrin resistance and a modified adult vial test was used to obtain baseline data for dinotefuran. Data showed varying levels of susceptibility to λ-cyhalothrin and that some populations may be more difficult to control than populations from other locations. Baseline data were collected for dinotefuran to be used in future comparisons.
