Insect Resistance Testing

Insect Resistance Testing

Know where your population stands. Resistance builds before spray failure is visible, and by the time it shows up, the season is already compromised.

This test screens your aphid population across the insecticide classes used in greenhouse programs, so you get a resistance profile specific to your operation instead of guessing from your spray history. Choose your species below: green peach aphid (Myzus persicae) or cotton/melon aphid (Aphis gossypii).

  • Covers neonicotinoids, carbamates, pyrethroids, and organophosphates
  • Results are broken down by pesticide group, so you know exactly where resistance stands

Insect Resistance Testing - Green Peach Aphid

Green peach aphid, 4 pesticide groups

Sequences live green peach aphid (Myzus persicae) samples from your crop to check for known resistance mutations across the 4 chemistry classes used in greenhouse programs.

Best for Green peach aphid populations that keep coming back after treatment, where resistance is the suspected reason.
