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
