  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Advances in Insect Control and Resistance Management

Abstract

The present book covers different approaches regarding advances in insect control and in resistance management: some chapters present and summarize general strategies or tactics for managing insect pests, while others cover alternative and nonchemical methods for controlling pests. Another part is devoted to different aspects of insecticide resistance: mechanisms and novel approaches for managing insect resistance in agriculture and in public health.
