Description
Insects, mites, and ticks have a long history of evolving resistance to pesticides, host-plant resistance, crop rotation, pathogens, and
parasitoids. Insect resistance management (IRM) is the scientific approach to preventing or delaying pest evolution and its negative
impacts on agriculture, public health, and veterinary issues. This book provides entomologists, pest management practitioners, developers
of new technologies, and regulators with information about the many kinds of pest resistance including behavioral and phenological resistance.
Abstract concepts and various case studies provide the reader with the biological and economic knowledge required to manage resistance.
No other source has the breadth of coverage of this book: genomics to economics, transgenic insecticidal crops, insecticides, and other
pest management tactics such as crop rotation. Dr. David W. Onstad and a team of experts illustrate how IRM becomes efficient, effective
and socially acceptable when local, social and economic aspects of the system are considered. Historical lessons are highlighted with
new perspectives emphasized, so that future research and management may be informed by past experience, but not constrained by it.

Pest control, crop science, agricultural economics researchers and scientists; entomologists; agricultural engineers; plant scientists; graduate-level students
