Abstract
Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is a key pest in Italian peach
orchards but also in many herbaceous crops. Insecticide treatments selected
resistant populations. Several resistance mechanisms in M. persicae are
known: esterases and mixed function oxydases overproduction and target site
insensitivity for carbamates, pyrethroids and also for cyclodienic insecticides.
More recently a highly specific target site resistance mechanisms have been
found against neonicotinoid insecticides. These resistance mechanisms allow
aphids to survive when spayed with traditional aphicides. In Italy resistant
strains are widely distributed but they are more frequent where agriculture is
more intense. Management strategies are discussed
