Resistance to Pesticides and Host Plant Resistance: Categories, Management, and Advantages, Exercises of Pest Management

The LNM Institute of Information TechnologyPest Management

Various resistance categories to individual and multiple pesticides, resistance management strategies and tactics, and the concept of host plant resistance (hpr). It covers concepts, advantages, and disadvantages, as well as factors affecting resistance expression.

Resistance Categories

  • Resistance to individual pesticides
    • Delayed entrance of toxicant
    • Increased deactivation/decreased activation
    • Decreased sensitivity
    • Behavioral avoidance
  • Resistance to multiple pesticides
    • Cross-resistance & class resistance
    • Multiple resistance
    • Multiplicate resistance

Resistance Management

  • Strategy
  • Saturation
  • Moderation
  • Multiple Attack
  • Tactics
  • Prevention
  • Reversal

Specific Tactics

  • Prevention
    • Use pesticides only as needed
    • Time/target applications precisely
    • Combine chemical & non-chemical controls
  • Resistance management will become a greater part of pest

management over the coming years

Host Plant Resistance in IPM

Your book uses the following approach

  • Host Plant Resistance (HPR) – General Concepts
  • Conventional Plant Breeding
  • Genetic Engineering
  • Application of Pest Genetics in IPM

Our lecture will mostly concern additional material

HPR Defined

Any heritable characteristic that lessens the effect of pest attack.

  • Genetic – crop and pest
  • Organismal – concerned with “effect”
    • Biological plant-pest interactions
    • Economic Damage
  • System – Traits may or may not be acceptable in a given CPS
    • Preference-based traits
    • Conflicting traits
      • Create other pest problems
      • Conflict with crop production/use/marketing

Characteristics of the Pest Complex

  • Conflicting Agronomic/Marketing Traits
  • Conflicting Pest Management Traits

HPR as an observed outcome

HPR and the Injury Scale

  • “True” Resistance
    • Immunity – often restricted to a specific race
    • Highly Resistant – Relatively little injury
    • Low-Level Resistance – Less injury than avg.
    • Susceptible – About average injury
    • Highly Susceptible -- More than average
  • “Partial Resistance” – High & low-level
  • Note – “Susceptible” does not mean “defenseless”, means average injury. Changes with change in prevailing cultivars.

HPR and the Yield Scale

  • “Tolerance”
    • Highly, Moderately Tolerant; Intolerant, Highly Intolerant
  • Creates two problems
    • Pest builds up & may cause other problems
    • Affected by many other factors (e.g. soil, nutrition, other pests) but the net effect can’t be measured until harvest.

Apparent Resistance

  • Evasion – Breaks synchrony between pest and crop
  • Initial infestation level

HPR as a response by the pest

  • Antixenosis (non-preference) -- prevents pest from commencing attack. Two types - Chemical – Allelochemicals are chemicals produced by one species (plant) to affect another species (pest). - Morphological – can be very long lasting.
  • Antibiosis – Interferes with pest attack once it begins.
    • Pest has reduced survival, fecundity, reproduction, etc.
    • Two types
      • Primary metabolite missing
      • Toxin

HPR as a phenotype category

  • Constitutive – prepares defense as plant grows
  • Often associated with yield drag
    • Plants always commit a portion of photosynthate to defense
    • All target tissues must be defended
  • Several advantages:
    • Young plants can be screened
    • Easier to assay
    • More dependable
  • Induced – defense prepared when attack comes
  • Localized – Hypersensitivity mostly with pathogens
  • Systemically Acquired Resistance (SAR)
  • Both have time lags & can be overwhelmed by large initial pest population

Genetic Basis of HPR

  • Better understood for pathogens
    • Fewer control options
  • Effectively resists initial attack vs. changing the rate of increase after attack
  • Vertical’s disadvantages relative to horiz.
  • May be too specific (single race)
  • May be overcome by pest more easily
