Abstract

Colorado potato beetle populations from Idaho were surveyed for resistance to carbofuran, endosulfan, esfenvalerate, and phosmet in a discriminating concentation bioassay of spring emergent and first generation adults. No carbofuran or endosulfan resistance was detected in 29 populations surveyed. Esfenvalerate and phosmet resistance was detected in all potato growing areas of the state. For the same populations, spring adults were more sensitive to phosmet than were first generation adults. Susceptible populations were found in the same regions as resistant populations.
