Although insecticide resistance is an important pest management concern in pest species potentially leading to their control failure, the simultaneous assessment of both resistance and control failure is rare. Thus, the level of insecticide resistance and associated risk of control failure was assessed in Neotropical field‐populations of the putative whitefly species Middle East‐Asia Minor I (MEAM1) ( Bemisia tabaci B‐biotype). Resistance was detected for all of the seven insecticides tested, namely azadirachtin, cartap, chlorantraniliprole, diafenthiuron, imidacloprid, lambda‐cyhalothrin and spiromesifen. Risk of control failure was particularly high for the bioinsecticide azadirachtin, followed by spiromesifen and lambda‐cyhalothrin.
