Abstract | Tuta absoluta is an economically significant pest of tomatoes, which has undergone a rapid expansion in its range during the past six years. One of the main means of controlling this pest is through the use of chemical insecticides including pyrethroids and spinosad. However, their intensive use has led to the development of resistance. The aim of this PhD was to understand the mechanisms underlying resistance to pyrethroids and spinosad. |
