The beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua is a global agricultural pest that is polyphagous, highly dispersive, and often difficult to control due to resistance to many insecticides. Previous studies showed that a target site mutation in the S. exigua ryanodine receptor (SeRyR) corresponding to I4743M contributes approximately 20-fold resistance to chlorantraniliprole, whereas a mutation in the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP9A186 corresponding to F116V confers 200-fold to emamectin benzoate through enhanced metabolic detoxification. Here, high frequencies of mutations were found among six China S. exigua field populations collected from 2016 to 2019 resulting in SeRyR I4743M and CYP9A186 F116V substitutions, with some populations having high levels of resistance to chlorantraniliprole and emamectin benzoate, respectively. Whereas we found a significant correlation between emamectin benzoate resistance level and the allele frequency of CYP9A186 F116V, no significant correlation was found between chlorantraniliprole resistance level and SeRyR I4743M allele frequency in the six field populations. These results suggest that CYP9A186 F116V is a major resistance mechanism for emamectin benzoate in the tested field populations, whereas it is likely that resistance mechanisms other than SeRyR I4743M are responsible for resistance to chlorantraniliprole in the six China field populations. Because of the growing resistance to these two insecticides by S. exigua in China, the use of insecticidal compounds with different modes of action and/or other integrated pest management strategies are needed to further delay the evolution of insecticide resistance and effectively manage S. exigua in China.
