✦ Synopsis


Bioassays of nicotine and imidacloprid against clones of Myzus persicae (Sulzer) and Myzus nicotianae (Blackman) from around the world demonstrated that some had low levels of resistance to both compounds. This was (expressed not only as a reduced mortality, but more markedly as differential inhibition of feeding by imidacloprid concentrations in the parts per billion range. Such concentrations also reduced aphid fecundity by inhibiting the production and viability of nymphs, and this effect was more marked for susceptible aphids than for those showing reduced direct lethal and antifeedant effects.

It is known from laboratory studies that tobacco-associated forms of Myzus persicae (Sulzer) and the closely related tobacco aphid Myzus nicotianae (Blackman) are often somewhat less susceptible to imidacloprid than nontobacco strains of M. persicae. Choice tests (Ñoating leaf technique) showed that

## Abstract The oral toxicity of the C‐type allatostatin, __Manduca sexta__ allatostatin (Manse‐AS) and the analogue δR^3^δR^5^Manse‐AS, where R residues were replaced by their D‐isomers, were tested against the peach‐potato aphid __Myzus persicae__ by incorporation into an artificial diet. Both pe
