Cotton jassid, Amrasca devastans (Distant), is an economically important pest of various crops (i.e. cotton, okra, brinjal) and has the potential to become resistant against insecticides due to the intense use of insecticides in the region which entails high selection pressure. To monitor the resistance levels against recently used new chemistry insecticides (nitenpyram, spirotetramat, chlorfenapyr, fipronil, emamectin benzoate, sulfoxaflor, and flonicamid), four field populations of A. devastans collected from Khanewal, Multan, Muzaffargarh and Lodhran districts were examined by leaf dip bioassays. The results revealed the 32.95–136.47 fold resistance to nitenpyram, 23.03–56.74 fold to spirotetramat, 10.84–31.33 fold to chlorfenapyr, 1.20–9.43 fold to fipronil, 3.27–43.77 fold to emamectin benzoate, 0.66–2.81 fold to sulfoxaflor and 0.59–1.25 fold to flonicamid in different field populations, compared to the susceptible strain. Based on present study findings, it may be suggested to discontinue the use of nitenpyram, spirotetramat, chlorfenapyr and emamectin benzoate for which the populations were resistant and the rotational use of fipronil, sulfoxaflor and flonicamid for which the populations were susceptible. Proactive resistance management approaches such as judicious use of insecticides with proper dose selection, time of spray on early stages and correct method of application are necessary to prevent the development of resistance.
