Populations of Cydia pomonella (Linnaeus) from the Granite Belt area of south‐east Queensland were tested to determine their susceptibility to DDT, azinphos‐methyl and carbaryl. Resistance to DDT in one strain was demonstrated by the topical application test method. By means of a continuous‐exposure toxicological test, which is described, no evidence of resistance to azinphos methyl or carbaryl was found in any of the populations tested.
