Resistance management strategy for diamondback moth (DBM) in Australian canola
The aim of this strategy is to minimise the selection pressure for resistance to the same chemical groups across consecutive generations of DBM. The strategy includes three insecticides – avermectins (Group 6, Affirm®), spinosyns (Group 5, Success Neo®) and the biopesticide Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki (Btk) (Group 11A) – each of which provide efficacious field control.

Resistance management strategy for Helicoverpa armigera in Australian grains
The aim of this strategy is to minimise the selection pressure for resistance to the same chemical groups across consecutive generations of H. armigera. The strategy is primarily focussed on insecticide mode of actions in chickpea and mungbean systems, and is built around product windows for chlorantraniliprole (e.g. Altacor®) and indoxacarb (e.g. Steward®).
