Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Twenty‐one clones of the peach‐potato aphid, <jats:italic>Myzus persicae</jats:italic> (Sulzer), carrying various combinations of known mechanisms of insecticide resistance were assessed for their response to the new pyridine azomethine compound, pymetrozine, in leaf‐dip bioassays. Pymetrozine was also applied as a foliar spray to populations of four different UK <jats:italic>M persicae</jats:italic> clones on potato plants in field‐simulator chambers. Neither study showed any evidence of cross‐resistance to this compound. Pymetrozine, used in conjunction with other effective aphicides, such as pirimicarb and imidacloprid, can therefore play an important role in insecticide resistance‐management strategies for <jats:italic>M persicae</jats:italic>.</jats:p><jats:p>© 2002 Society of Chemical Industry</jats:p>
