Abstract
Resistance to organophosphorus, carbamate, and cyclodiene insecticides in field populations of the tobacco budworm (TBW), Heliothis virescen s (F.), from Texas was documented in 1991. The seasonal pattern of res istance from 1991 to 1994 was similar each year in that resistance inc reased midseason and declined in late season. Resistance gene frequenc ies were highest in 1992. A vial test was successfully used to monitor for resistance to these insecticides in adult TBW. The test provided valuable information for the development of a resistance management st rategy designed to extend the efficacy of insecticides used to control cotton pests.
