Impact of Insecticide Resistance Mechanisms on Management Strategies

  • Chapter
Biochemical Sites of Insecticide Action and Resistance

Abstract

Few areas of applied entomology have advanced as rapidly or received such widespread attention in recent years as that of insecticide resistance. This reflects both the increasingly severe impact of resistance on pest and disease management programmes, and, as is evident from several other chapters in this volume, the exciting contributions that resistance is making to fundamental knowledge of insect genetics, biochemistry and physiology. These insights should, in turn, offer greater prospects for developing or fine-tuning strategies aimed at circumventing the impact of resistance on pest management, or even preventing its appearance in the first place.
