The Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) shares valuable insights on its website, highlighting a recently published study in the Ambio journal. This study encompasses a comprehensive analysis of the influence of ecological and socioeconomic factors on resistance management in four key countries: Australia, Brazil, India, and the United States. The aim is to identify policies and strategies that maximize results in different contexts, ensuring the sustainability of this technology.
Staphyt Brazil’s Commitment to Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
Staphyt Brazil plays an active role in responding to IPM demands. In addition to certifying new cultivars and resistance events, the company excels in detailed monitoring and testing, aiming to provide effective solutions.
Advanced Monitoring in F2 Screen
A notable example is the monitoring conducted in the F2 Screen, which not only assesses population susceptibility but also provides data on the frequency of resistant alleles. This approach allows for anticipating movements in resistance evolution, evaluating the effectiveness of implemented management measures. In-depth analysis leads to greater success in pest control, ensuring the preservation of technology.
Specialized Laboratories for Bt-Resistant Pest Research
Our laboratories house populations of pests resistant to Bt proteins, enabling tests and evaluations of new events, whether in single or pyramid genes. Additionally, we conduct analyses of the effectiveness of biological products based on Bacillus sp. (expressing Bt proteins) in populations resistant to transgenic cultivars.
Total Commitment
Regardless of specific needs, we are ready to contribute to knowledge generation. We have a highly qualified research team, backed by CQB and BPL certifications, ensuring stringent standards in all our activities.
By joining forces, we can proactively tackle the challenges of insecticide resistance, promoting sustainable practices and ensuring continuous success in pest control.
