Models were attached to foliage at various positions in the canopy of soybeans before treatment with permethrin (Pounce 3.2 EC [emulsifiable concentrate]). Experiments were done to determine differences in insecticide interception by models of three size classes, corresponding roughly to third-, fourth-, and fifth-instar Helicoverpa zea (Boddie), and to examine differences in deposits when insecticide was applied by aircraft compared with ground application by a tractor-mounted sprayer. Insecticide deposits on glass models were quantitated by high-performance liquid chromatography. Data from glass models indicated that larvae receive variable doses during insecticide application depending on their position in the canopy, their size, and the application technique used. Deposits on models generally decreased with increasing depth in the canopy; models attached to the upper surface of leaves intercepted more insecticide than those attached to the under surface. Models with smaller surface area intercepted less insecticide than larger models in the upper canopy, but size-dependent differences in deposits were less apparent in the middle and lower strata of the plant canopy. Aerial- and ground-applied insecticide showed similar patterns of deposition. Results from glass models are used to project the consequences of permethrin impingement on H. zea larvae. Based on levels of insecticide interception at the time of application, some larvae will receive a dose many times higher than a lethal dose, whereas other larvae initially will receive a sublethal dose. Means and variances in deposits are equally important for predicting the toxic effect of insecticide on a population.}, number={6}, journal={JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY}, author={FOLLETT, PA and GOULD, F and LEIDY, R and BRADLEY, JR}, year={1994}, month={Dec}, pages={1400–1406} }

The hybrid strain was created by crossing resistant females and susceptible males. In separate experiments, survivorship was determined for adults and larvae of various ages (1, 2, 4, and 6 d) that were exposed directly to a permethrin (Ambush 2EC) spray. Results indicated that there is significant selection against susceptible genotypes during all larval stages and the adult stage. One- and 2-d-old larvae, as well as adults, of the hybrid strain and the resistant strain had similar survival. Survival in 4- and 6-d-old larvae of the hybrid strain was intermediate between the susceptible and resistant strains. Weights of 4- and 6-d-old larvae of the resistant and hybrid strains that survived treatment with insecticide were significantly lower than weights of untreated larvae. In another set of experiments, viability of 1-d-old larvae and viability and fecundity of adults were estimated when beetles were placed on potato foliage at various intervals (2, 5, 8 and 13 d) after permethrin application. Selection against susceptible 1-d-old larvae was strongest when placement was 2 d after application and selection diminished on subsequent placement dates but remained significant for the duration of the experiment. Selection against susceptible larvae was more intense on old foliage than new foliage. Larvae of the hybrid and resistant strains had similar survival on treated foliage. When hybrid 1-d-old larvae were placed on foliage 2 and 5 d after application, the sex ratios of survivors were 91 and 75% male, respectively. These values were significantly higher than that of the resistant strain survivors on treated plants and hybrid survivors on untreated plants. This is consistent with the reported sex-linkage of this trait in Colorado potato beetle, but surprisingly, survivorship of hybrid males was significantly higher than survivorship in the resistant strain males for day 2 and 5 placements. Differences were not detected in survivorship and fecundity of adults of the three strains placed on plants at various intervals after insecticide application. Implications of these fitness studies for resistance management of Colorado potato beetle are discussed.}, number={5}, journal={Journal of Economic Entomology}, publisher={Oxford University Press (OUP)}, author={Follett, Peter A. and Gould, Fred and Kennedy, George G.}, year={1993}, month={Oct}, pages={1324–1333} }

Values used in exploring variables in the model were chosen to reflect the range of possibilities encountered in field populations of Colorado potato beetle. REPO is different from other resistance management models in that it is temperature-driven, considers age-specific selection, describes the pattern of immigration of colonists, and uses survivorship functions to describe dynamic relationships among genotypes during insecticide selection. The life history of Colorado potato beetle in North Carolina and other areas is presented as a backdrop to model exploration of some of the unique features of this pest that could influence resistance evolution. Foremost among ecological and management factors influencing rate of resistance development were the arrival period of colonizing beetles, timing of insecticide applications, action thresholds, and age-specific selection. Relevance of these findings to management of Colorado potato beetle and future research on this insect is discussed.}, number={2}, journal={Environmental Entomology}, publisher={Oxford University Press (OUP)}, author={Follett, Peter A. and Kennedy, George G. and Gould, Fred}, year={1993}, month={Apr}, pages={283–296} }

Forty-eight-hour survival and weight gain in survivors, percent pupation, and percent adult eclosion were measured in one experiment. Generally, larval weight gain after 48 hours among survivors decreased with increasing dose. A high proportion of individuals surviving after 48 hours went on to pupate and emerge as adults regardless of dose, age, and reduction in growth at 48 hours post-treatment. In a second experiment, pupal and adult weights and development times of larve and pupae were measured after topical treatment of larvae with permethrin. Pupal weights of survivors decreased with increasing dose in all age classes. Adult weights decreased with increasing dose only in the 7-day-old treatment. Development times were protracted with increasing dose in the 5-day-old and 7-day-old treatments, but not the 3-day-old treatment. In both experiments, smaller larvae were more tolerant of permethrin than larger larvae per unit body weight.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF ENTOMOLOGICAL SCIENCE}, author={FOLLETT, PA}, year={1990}, month={Jul}, pages={357–365} }
