Status of insecticide resistance and detoxification enzymes activity in pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders) populations from India

Assessment of Insecticide Resistance, Biological Characteristics, and Detoxification Enzyme Activity in Rice Brown Planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens) from the Gangavathi Region, India

Substantial resistance to several frequently used insecticides, particularly buprofezin and imidacloprid, is demonstrated, accompanied by enhanced detoxification enzyme activity and altered biological performance within integrated brown planthopper management programmes.
