Result showed that ICI neonates were resistant to all pyrethroids tested. We observed no resistance to alternate insecticides including organophosphates, carbamates, avermectin, and rotenone. Several insecticide combinations were synergistic against resistant neonates. Chlordimeform synergized almost all incecticides tested; synergism was usually greater with susceptible than with resistant neonates. In combination with chlordimeform piperonyl butoxide was more synergistic against resistant neonates. The resistance sprectrum of the ICI strain suggests that target site resistance to pyrethroids is most important in neonate larvae and that both target site and metabolic resistance were present, with target site resistance being more important. The similarity of resistance in adults and neonates confirms the validity of adult monitoring in predicting resistance in neonates, the stage at which insecticide control is usually aimed. achemical control acotton aLepidoptera aNoctuidae asynergism atoxicity aHeliothis Virescens aInsect aInsecticide aNeonate aPest aPyrethroid aResistence aSusceptibility1 aPLAPP JUNIOR, F.
