Resistance is Futile: Why Resistance Management is Important in Managing Insect and Mite Pests
Raymond will provide an overview of resistance and then discuss the mechanisms of resistance and the biological parameters that promote resistance developing in insect and mite pest populations. He will then address the importance of rotating pesticides (insecticides and miticides) with different modes of action to delay the prospect of resistance developing in insect and mite pest populations. This presentation will be “hard to resist”.
