Description
Insecticides Resistance is a critical examination of one of modern agriculture’s most pressing challenges. This 2017 hardcover edition, edited by Trdan S. and published by InTech, provides comprehensive coverage of how insects develop resistance to chemical pesticides and the implications for global food security.
The book delves into the biological and biochemical mechanisms underlying resistance development, including genetic mutations, metabolic resistance, and behavioral adaptations. It covers detection and monitoring techniques for identifying resistant populations early, along with diagnostic methods for determining resistance levels in field populations.
Featuring contributions from leading researchers and pest management experts, the volume explores integrated pest management strategies, rotation tactics, and alternative control methods designed to slow resistance development. The book addresses resistance across major agricultural pests, including insects affecting crops such as cotton, rice, and vegetables, making it essential reading for agronomists, entomologists, and agricultural scientists worldwide.
