Resistance to the bacteria‐derived insecticides spinosad (Conserve), abamectin (Vertimec), Bacillus thuringiensis var kurstaki ( Btk ) (Dipel), B thuringiensis var aizawai ( Bta ) (Xentari), B thuringiensis crystal endotoxins Cry1Ac and Cry1Ca, and to the synthetic insecticide fipronil was estimated in a freshly‐collected field population (CH 1 strain) of Plutella xylostella (L) from the Cameron Highlands, Malaysia. Laboratory bioassays at G 1 indicated significant levels of resistance to spinosad, abamectin, Cry1Ac, Btk , Cry1Ca, fipronil and Bta when compared with a laboratory insecticide‐susceptible population. Logit regression analysis of F 1 reciprocal crosses indicated that resistance to spinosad in the CH 1 population was inherited as a co‐dominant trait. At the highest dose of spinosad tested, resistance was close to completely recessive, while at the lowest dose it was incompletely dominant. A direct test of monogenic inheritance based on a back‐cross of F 1 progeny with CH 1 suggested that resistance to spinosad was controlled by a single locus.
