Effect of pyrethroid resistance on the efficacy of entomopathogenic nematodes for the control of Listronotus maculicollis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) by Albrecht M. Koppenhöfer, Ana Luiza Sousa, Olga S. Kostromytska, Shaohui Wu

“…However, the resistance mechanism that appears to be primarily responsible for resistance in the weevil, enhanced enzymatic detoxification, may have the potential to deactivate compounds produced by the nematodes’ symbiotic bacteria that play important roles in the infection process. We compared the efficacy of several nematode species for the management of weevil larvae in populations with different insecticide resistance levels. …”
