Summary

Pyrethroids applied to flowering sorghum, at either the low midge rate or the higher Helicoverpa rate (20 g and 100 g fenvalerate a.i./ha, respectively), caused selective mortality of Helicoverpa armigera larvae and resulted in differential selection for resistance. This finding vindicated the original strategy decision to apply the same temporal restrictions on pyrethroid use for sorghum midge, Contarinia sorghicola, as those for H. armigera.
