Abstract
As a sole method, resistant cultivars help keep the population of key pests under check. Resistant cultivars under field conditions can obviate the need for application of insecticides. Resistant cultivars can well combine with natural enemies, cultural practices, mechanical and physical devices/barriers, microbial, insecticides, and molecular and biotechnological tools. Proven examples are provided in this chapter that successfully combines resistant varieties with other methods in pest management, conferring ecological and economic values.
