Insecticide resistance: can it be avoided?
The genetic background related to resistance against insecticides has abundantly been demonstrated during the last decades, hence slowing down the development of resistance has to be adapted accordingly. Currently, assays are designed to monitor the mechanisms of resistance in individual insects. Remarks on the interpretation of results obtained with the available bioassays are given together with some recommendations to control resistance.
