Abstract
Cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover, 1877 (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is a polyphagous pest that shows rapid resistance to chemical control. Determination of resistance levels is an important criterion in resistance management. The insecticide activities of Acetamiprid, Dimethoate, Imidacloprid, L-cyalothrin were investigated on different aphid population with the aim of developing a faster and more economical bioassay method. Resistance levels were compared by making bioassays with insecticides using the leaf dipping method for 72 hours, 120 minutes and different doses. Resistance rates varying between 1-10 times were observed in both methods. The rapid application of 120 minutes is more advantageous in terms of speed, application time and economy of the method in the detection of resistance against Acetamiprid, Dimethoate, Imidacloprid, L-cyalothrin insecticides, and will contribute to the detection of resistance and the development of bioassay method.
