“…The adoption of precision agriculture on millions of hectares globally has increased the intensity and efficiency of crop production and revolutionized the management of weeds and insect pests; particularly in the row crops in which NSTs and genetically engineered (GE) technologies have been extensively adopted. ,,, This widespread adoption, has been accompanied by a pervasive shift away from more logistically complex and labor intensive Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approaches involving suites of cultural and chemical tactics guided by scouting and thresholds used within an IPM strategy of pest prevention, avoidance, monitoring and suppression. − Over the past two decades, these major changes to row crop production in the Cotton Belt have led to the selection of neonicotinoid resistant F. fusca populations and increased reliance on broad-spectrum insecticides to control resistant populations at broad scales . This regional increase in insecticide use carries with it a hidden consequence of resistance, which results in direct and indirect impacts for farmers, beneficial organisms, and the environment …”

The intensification of industrial agriculture has been enabled by improved crop varieties, genetically engineered crops, fertilizers, and pesticides. Over the past 15 years, neonicotinoid seed treatments have been adopted worldwide and are used on a large proportion of U.S. field crops. Although neonicotinoids are used widely, little is known about how large-scale deployment affects pest populations over long periods. Here, we report a positive relationship between the deployment of neonicotinoid seed-dressings on multiple crops and the emergence of insecticide resistance in tobacco thrips (Frankliniella fusca), a polyphagous insect herbivore that is an important pest of seedling cotton but not soybean or maize. Using a geospatial approach, we studied the relationship between neonicotinoid resistance measured in 301 F. fusca populations to landscape-scale crop production patterns across nine states in the southeastern U.S. cotton production region, in which soybean, maize and cotton are the dominant crops. Our research linked the spatiotemporal abundance of cotton and soybean production to neonicotinoid resistance in F. fusca that is leading to a dramatic increase in insecticide use in cotton. Results demonstrate that cross-crop resistance selection has important effects on pests and, in turn, drives pesticide use and increases environmental impacts associated with their use.

“…As WCR is a highly adaptive pest, over time the insects evolved to lay eggs in fields of noncorn crops (such as soybean) (Levine et al ., ) and to become resistant to conventional insecticides (Zhu et al ., ), making these strategies less effective. Furthermore, crop rotation is not always practical in the US Corn Belt and chemical insecticides can cause environmental concerns (Sappington, ). Since 2003, farmers in the United States have widely adopted transgenic corn producing Bacillus thuringiensis ( Bt ) insecticidal proteins to control WCR (Sanahuja et al ., ).…”

SummaryThe coleopteran insect western corn rootworm (WCR, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera) is an economically important pest in North America and Europe. Transgenic corn plants producing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) insecticidal proteins have been useful against this devastating pest, but evolution of resistance has reduced their efficacy. Here, we report the discovery of a novel insecticidal protein, PIP‐47Aa, from an isolate of Pseudomonas mosselii. PIP‐47Aa sequence shows no shared motifs, domains or signatures with other known proteins. Recombinant PIP‐47Aa kills WCR, two other corn rootworm pests (Diabrotica barberi and Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi) and two other beetle species (Diabrotica speciosa and Phyllotreta cruciferae), but it was not toxic to the spotted lady beetle (Coleomegilla maculata) or seven species of Lepidoptera and Hemiptera. Transgenic corn plants expressing PIP‐47Aa show significant protection from root damage by WCR. PIP‐47Aa kills a WCR strain resistant to mCry3A and does not share rootworm midgut binding sites with mCry3A or AfIP‐1A/1B from Alcaligenes that acts like Cry34Ab1/Cry35Ab1. Our results indicate that PIP‐47Aa is a novel insecticidal protein for controlling the corn rootworm pests.

“…Similarly, D. v. virgifera field populations resistant to commercial corn hybrids expressing the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins Cry3Bb1 and mCry3A have been documented in several Midwestern states (Gassmann et al, 2011(Gassmann et al, , 2014. Widespread adoption of rootworm-targeting Bt corn by growers since its commercialization in 2003 reflects its initial effectiveness in managing this pest (Rice, 2004), and the rapid evolution of resistance is a disturbing, if not wholly unanticipated, development (Porter et al, 2012;Gassmann et al, 2014;Sappington, 2014).…”

“…In cases where growers prefer to grow nonrotated corn, chemical insecticides were the principal management approach prior to the introduction of Bt corn. Now that some Bt toxins are faltering, chemical insecticides are again being recruited for supplemental control even in places where Bt resistance is not yet suspected (Porter et al ., ; Sappington, ). Like any tactic, sustained exposure of insect populations to a chemical insecticide selects for resistance (Georghiou & Lagunes‐Tejada, ), and rootworms are no exception.…”

The western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera, is an insect pest of corn and population suppression with chemical insecticides is an important management tool. Traits conferring organophosphate insecticide resistance have increased in frequency amongst D. v. virgifera populations, resulting in the reduced efficacy in many corn-growing regions of the USA. We used comparative functional genomic and quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping approaches to investigate the genetic basis of D. v. virgifera resistance to the organophosphate methyl-parathion. RNA from adult methyl-parathion resistant and susceptible adults was hybridized to 8331 microarray probes. The results predicted that 11 transcripts were significantly up-regulated in resistant phenotypes, with the most significant (fold increases ≥ 2.43) being an α-esterase-like transcript. Differential expression was validated only for the α-esterase (ST020027A20C03), with 11- to 13-fold greater expression in methyl-parathion resistant adults (P < 0.05). Progeny with a segregating methyl-parathion resistance trait were obtained from a reciprocal backcross design. QTL analyses of high-throughput single nucleotide polymorphism genotype data predicted involvement of a single genome interval. These data suggest that a specific carboyxesterase may function in field-evolved corn rootworm resistance to organophosphates, even though direct linkage between the QTL and this locus could not be established.
