Abstract
DURING the autumn and winter of 1971 several nurserymen in south-east England reported failure to control glasshouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum Westw.) with malathion and parathion at recommended rates of application; this suggests the possibility of chemical resistance to organophosphorus insecticides. Krause1 has since reported similar suspicions of resistance in the Netherlands, but no experimental evidence has been published.
