The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the ozone toxicity to populations of Tribolium castaneum, Rhyzopertha dominica and Oryzaephilus surimanensis, to determine if there is cross resistance between ozone and phosphine; to verify if there is relationship between the ozone toxicity and respiratory metabolism of the insects; to determine the reproductive standards of the populations in the absence of selective pressure and provide evidence of adaptive costs associated with phosphine resistance. Sixteen Brazilian populations of T. castaneum, 11 of R. dominica and nine of O. surinamensis were collected from the states of Goiás, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Paraná and São Paulo. In the toxicity bioassays, the concentration of the ozone was fixed in 150 ppm (2 L min-1 flow). The lethal exposure time for 50 or 95% of mortality (TL50 and TL95) of each insect population was estimated through time-response bioassays and used to calculate respective resistance ratios (RRs). The respiratory and instantaneous growth rates (ri) of each population of three species were evaluated. In addition, the development and population growth rate of two phosphine resistant and two susceptible populations of each specie were evaluated. None of the tested populations showed ozone resistance. The resistance ratios at TL50 of the populations of T. castaneum, R. dominica and O. surinamensis ranged, respectively, from 1.00 to 1.76, 1.03 to 1.32, and 1.0 to 1.58- fold. In contrast, some of these populations showed high resistance to phosphine, indicating that there was no cross resistance between ozone and phosphine. Different respiratory standards were observed among the populations of each species, suggesting that ozone toxicity was not influenced by the respiratory metabolism of insects. Different reproductive standards were found in the development and populational growth rates, where some phosphine resistant populations showed adaptative costs in the absence of the insecticide. Since these populations did not show ozone resistance, independent of the resistance or susceptibility to phosphine, ozone can be one of the major eco-friendly alternative to phosphine for use in managing resistant pest populations.
