Abstract: This review introduced the progress in insecticide resistance of thrips from abroad and home researches. Insecticide resistance status of thrips investigated in different regions throughout the world were summarized, insecticide resistance mechanisms mainly including metabolic resistance, reduced rate of entry of toxicants, alterations and reduced susceptibility of target sites were also concluded as well. Furthermore, present study also overviewed relevant methods of insecticide resistance monitoring, such as toxicity bioassay, physiological and bio-chemical detection, molecular detection. Lastly, strategies of chemical, biological and agricultural were provided for insecticide resistance management. Overall, this review aimed at offering basic knowledge of insecticide resistance, better pest management and insecticide resistance management.
