Guidelines:

  1. Monitor pest numbers and apply control measures before adult populations reach high levels.
  2. Select registered insecticide control measures according to the primary growth stage of the pest, the infestation level and the age and type of crop.
  3. In cotton, spray decisions should be based on the Silverleaf Whitefly threshold matrix. Refer to the current Cotton Pest Management Guide for further details.
  4. Where possible, utilise selective insecticides during the early stages of crop development to minimise the impact on beneficial insects.
  5. Rotate between registered insecticides that have different modes of action (see table below)).
  6. Do not apply more than two consecutive applications of insecticides that have the same Mode of Action within and between seasons.

CropLife Australiaโ€™s Resistance Management Strategies provide a guide for crop protection product rotation through product groups. The strategies are a useful tool that supports farmersโ€™ adoption of resistance management. All crop protection products must be handled and applied strictly as specified on the product label or APVMA permits.

These Resistance Management Strategies do not replace product labels. They are a guide only and do not endorse particular products, groups of products or cultural methods in terms of their performance. It is important to check with the Australian regulatorโ€™s (APVMA) product database for contemporary information on products and active constituents. The database can be sourced through www.apvma.gov.au

The information given in this strategy is provided in good faith and without any liability for loss or damage suffered as a result of its application and use. Advice given in this strategy is valid as at 14 July 2023. All previous versions of this strategy are now invalid.
