The future for the use of synthetic organic chemistry for pest control has been hotly debated since the publication of "The Silent Spring". At that point, it had become clear that the use of one particular compound widely and repeatedly could cause environment implications never thought of before with the tools of science available at that time. It was also observed that the reliance on one control method would not be sustainable against many of our worst insect pests. The key as we have been forced to relearn many times since the synthetics came to the forefront for insect control will always be diversity and by understanding customer needs; producing alternatives with excellent activity that can be used as tools in integrated pest management. Just as IPM involves utilization of diverse methods for control,those of us in industry will continue to screen and design molecules with new modes of action to fit into increasingly more complex resistance management systems. Here the results of a compound called SPINOSAD sold under the tradename of SUCCESS® and the first member of the NATURALYTE class of products, alternating with the other compounds with different modes of actions to control Plutella xylostella is presented as a model. The efficacy and rotation demonstrates a compatible methods that we can utilize to reduce selection pressure in insects to all available compounds.
