Dinotefuran is a third-generation neonicotinoid, which has remarkable properties for the control of sucking pests in a broad range of crops. Dinotefuran is registered in 12 Asian countries and mainly used for the management of brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (BPH) on rice. BPH, a key pest of rice in Asia, has been reported to be developing serious resistance to several insecticides. We investigated the susceptibility of BPH populations against insecticides including dinotefuran in several Asian countries. Dinotefuran was found to be effective to against populations of BPH which has low susceptibility to insecticides including other neonicotinoids. In the field trials, the efficacy of dinotefuran was superior to that of other insecticides and dinotefuran exhibited long-lasting effects more than two weeks.These results indicate that dinotefuran can provide a reliable solution to control BPH in Asia.
