Abstract

In Japan, the American serpentine leafminer, Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess) (Diptera: Agromyzidae), was first observed in 1990, causing serious damage on a wide variety of crops. Liriomyza trifolii continues to infest crops today, despite changes in insecticides used between 1990 and the present. In this study, the insecticide susceptibilities of L. trifolii reared for successive generations over 25 years, from 1991 to 2016, as well as of L. trifolii collected in crop fields in 2015, were investigated. The respective results were compared with those of a study conducted by other researchers in 1991. High insecticide susceptibility in all L. trifolii strains was found for isoxathion, spinetoram, spinosad, emamectin benzoate, lepimectin, cartap, cyromazine, and cyantraniliprole. Insecticides appearing to have caused a decrease in susceptibility were clothianidin, dinotefuran, thiamethoxam, thiocyclam, and pyridalyl. Low insecticide susceptibility for all strains was found for malathion, cypermethrin, permethrin, and milbemectin. These results provide useful insights that will inform the management of insecticide susceptibility in successive generations of insect pests in the field and in the laboratory.
