Advancing Weevil Genetics, Genomics, and Molecular Tools: Adapting New Strategies to Transform Weevil Pest Management

Pyrethroid resistant alfalfa weevils in the western US: An opportunity to address insecticide resistance management using molecular genetics

Sunday, October 31, 2021
9:50 AM - 10:05 AM MT
Location: Colorado Convention Center, Meeting Room 403-404
In-Person
Across the western US, alfalfa weevils in multiple areas have developed resistance to the pyrethroid insecticides that currently provide the backbone of weevil management plans. RAW (www.montana.edu/resistantalfalfaweevil/) is a multistate research and extension collaboration to develop and deliver solutions to alfalfa stakeholders to mitigate the economic impact of insecticide resistant weevils. This presentation will review the current state of pyrethroid resistance and discuss the application of alfalfa weevil whole genome sequencing and population genomics towards insecticide resistance management.
