Abstract
Our purpose is to determine whether extremely low concentrations of imidacloprid (2-8 ppb) typically found in field soil 1-3 yr after a crop is grown using seed with a standard imidacloprid seed-coating could impact the fitness of whiteflies, Bemisia tabaci Gennadius (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae). Results of our experiments indicate that imidacloprid-resistant whitefly larvae feeding on cotton seedlings growing in soil with 8.0 ppb imidacloprid are conditioned so that when the same individuals feed on plants treated with imidacloprid as adults their fitness, measured as fecundity, increases 30-70% compared with individuals that were not primed as larvae. This conditioning hormesis stimulates resistant whiteflies more than susceptible whiteflies, which may contribute to the selection of resistant populations.
