RynaxapyrTM(DPXE2Y45) is a new insecticide with a novel mode of action. RynaxapyrTM is a substituted anthranilamide insecticide that has shown broad spectrum activity to chewing insect pests. RynaxapyrTM is currently being evaluated in Louisiana in field trials and laboratory bioassays. Baseline susceptibility of laboratory colonies of fall armyworm, bollworm, and tobacco budworm to RynaxapyrTM is being evaluated in adult vial tests, topical applications, and diet incorporation. Laboratory bioassays will be evaluated for repeatability for possible use in future insecticide resistance monitoring assays. Baseline LD50 and LC50 values will be determined for all species.
