This study evaluated the efficacy of eight commercial insecticides with different modes of action against a laboratory strain (Q biotype) using a leaf-dip assay. The resistance index (RI), defined as the LC<sub>90</sub> value divided by the recommended concentration (RC), was employed to assess resistance levels. Four insecticides, pyridaben, milbemectin, spinetoram, and cyantraniliprole, were found to be effective, with RI values below 1. Spiromesifen and sulfoxaflor showed RI values of 1.7 and 5.6, respectively, indicating a need for alternative strategies to ensure effective field control. Notably, the laboratory strain, even after ten years without insecticide exposure, exhibited RI values of 23.8 and 51.3 for thiacloprid and pyriproxyfen, respectively, showing less than 50% control efficacy at 1x RC treatment. These findings underscore the inadequacy of current RCs for commercial products, which were originally established based on bioassays of the B biotype strain.
