Insecticide resistance and prospects for its Management

  • Conference paper
Residue Reviews

Part of the book series: Residue Reviews ((RECT,volume 76))

Abstract

After a decade of relative neglect, resistance to insecticides1 is again beginning to receive the attention it deserves as a challenging problem that requires new solutions.

Presented in part at the April 1979 US-ROC Cooperative Science Program seminar on “Environmental Problems Associated with Pesticide Usage in the Intensive Agricultural System,” Taipei, Taiwan, Republic of China, as sponsored by the National Science Foundation (U.S.A.) and the National Science Council (R.O.C.).
