Resistance has been defined as a developed ability in a strain to tolerate doses of toxicants which would prove lethal to the majority of individuals in normal population of the same species (Anonymous,1957), World Health Organization (WHO), Expert Committee on Insecticides, (1957). Insecticides resistance management (IRM) strategies are becoming more important in agricultural production system. Pest resistance to a insecticide can be managed by reducing selection pressure by the insecticide on the pest population.Preventing and managing resistance to insecticides is an important stewardship practice that ensure insect control products will remain effective long term.In other words, the situation when all the pest except the most resistant ones are killed by a given chemical should be avoided.Resistance to insecticides was first documented in 1914 by A. L. Melander in the Journal of Economic Entomology.

Abstract


Resistance has been defined as a developed ability in a strain to tolerate doses of toxicants which would prove lethal to the majority of individuals in normal population of the same species (Anonymous,1957), World Health Organization (WHO), Expert Committee on Insecticides, (1957). Insecticides resistance management (IRM) strategies are becoming more important in agricultural production system. Pest resistance to a insecticide can be managed by reducing selection pressure by the insecticide on the pest population.Preventing and managing resistance to insecticides is an important stewardship practice that ensure insect control products will remain effective long term.In other words, the situation when all the pest except the most resistant ones are killed by a given chemical should be avoided.Resistance to insecticides was first documented in 1914 by A. L. Melander in the Journal of Economic Entomology.
