*Refer: CropLife Australia Expert Committee on Insecticide Resistance Mode of Action Classification for Insecticides
Seek advice from the manufacturers and/or government advisory services to determine local resistance levels for particular mode of action Groups
DO NOT exceed the maximum number of applications permitted on the insecticide label.
When using insecticides to control other pests, consider the chemical group in relation to contributing to resistance development of Silverleaf Whitefly.
When using insecticides to control other pests consider the effect on beneficial insects and the potential to flare Silverleaf Whitefly populations.
NOTE:
Not all chemical groups listed have registered products available in all crops affected by Silverleaf Whitefly. Only use products registered for use in crop to be treated.

CropLife Australia’s Resistance Management Strategies provide a guide for crop protection product rotation through product groups. The strategies are a useful tool that supports farmers’ 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 regulator’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 30 June 2022. All previous versions of this strategy are now invalid.
