Mechanisms of Pesticide Resistance in Non-Target Organisms

  • Chapter
Pest Resistance to Pesticides

Abstract

Published literature on pesticide resistance is voluminous. In preparation of this paper, a computerized literature search of over 50,000 journals resulted in off-line printouts of about 2,000 resistance articles from the data banks of Chemical Abstracts, Biological Abstracts, Enviroline, Toxline, and Agricola. These references spanned approximately the last ten years.
