Break the Insecticide Resistance Cycle Adding DiPel® DF Biological Insecticide Dry Flowable to your worm (lepidopterous larvae) control program breaks the resistance cycle, while also providing excellent control for greater return on investment. Group 28 chemistries like Coragen® are effective but can be costly and resistant populations have begun to develop (irac-online.org/content/uploads/DBM_Workshop_Diamide-_DBM_Resistance_Thailand.pdf). Rotating DiPel with other classes of chemistries promotes good resistance management practices that helps ensure other currently used modes of action continue to work efficiently. How Insects Develop Resistance Insects, such as worms, can be highly susceptible to developing resistance to insecticides when one class of insecticide is used exclusively and repeatedly. Surviving insects are left to form future resistant generations. Over the course of multiple generations and sprays, the insect populations move from predominately susceptible to predominately resistant, as shown in the illustrations below. By adding DiPel to your worm control program the cycle is broken so that not only are the worms controlled, but the effectiveness of conventional insecticides is maintained.

Initial insecticide application with minimal resistant pests

After initial application, surviving pests multiply and pass on the resistance trait to their offspring and applications of the same insecticide are less effective

If the same class of insecticide is used repeatedly and exclusively, the majority of the population can become resistant

Controlled Pests

Resistant Pests

DiPel —Excellent Choice for Worm Control Programs   Economical control of worm pests   No harvest residue or MRL concerns because DiPel is exempt from tolerance   Great rotational partner to reduce the potential of worms developing resistance to insecticides with other modes of action
