Insecticide mixtures-uses, benefits and considerations

Thomas C Sparks. Pest Manag Sci. 2024.

Abstract

Insecticides remain an important tool for the control of many insect pests. There has long been an interest in insecticide mixtures (in-can and tank-mix) as a means to provide the needed efficacy and/or spectrum to control many insect public health, crop pests or crop pest complexes. This aspect has become more important since insecticides developed in the last 30 years tend to be narrower in spectrum with many primarily focused on either sap-feeding or chewing insect pests. Insecticide mixtures are also seen as an important approach to insect resistance management (IRM) with certain requirements for optimal implementation. Additionally, insecticide mixtures can also address certain agronomic, commercial and intellectual property needs and opportunities. This perspective will review some of the drivers and considerations for insecticide mixtures and their potential uses. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
