Five strains of Myzus persicae (Sulzer) were collected from peaches and potatoes in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland in 1976/77. In four strains resistance to demeton‐S‐methyl ranged from 14‐ to 18‐fold and to dimethoate from 17‐ to 50‐fold. The fifth strain showed a low order of resistance to demeton‐S‐methyl and dimethoate of 4‐ and 3.4‐fold respectively.
