Overview
Neither pest management nor resistance management can occur with only an understanding of pest biology. For years, entomologists have understood, with their use of economic thresholds, that at least a minimal use of economics was necessary for proper integrated pest management. IRM is even more complicated and dependent on understanding and using socioeconomic factors. The new edition of Insect Resistance Management addresses these issues and much more. Many new ideas, facts and case studies have been developed since the previous edition of Insect Resistance Management published. With a new chapter focusing on Resistance Mechanisms Related to Plant-incorporated Toxins and heavily expanded revisions of several existing chapters, this new volume will be an invaluable resource for IRM researchers, practitioners, professors and advanced students. Authors in this edition include professors at major universities, leaders in the chemical and seed industry, evolutionary biologists and active IRM practitioners. This revision also contains more information about IRM outside North America, and a modeling chapter contains a large new section on uncertainty analysis, a subject recently emphasized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The final chapter contains a section on insecticidal seed treatments. No other book has the breadth of coverage of Insect Resistance Management, 2e. It not only covers molecular to economic issues, but also transgenic crops, seed treatments and other pest management tactics such as crop rotation. Major themes continuing from the first edition include the importance of using IRM in the integrated pest management paradigm, the need to study and account for pest behavior, and the influence of human behavior and decision making in IRM.

Reviews
Contributors from entomology, agriculture, and economics explore aspects of managing insect resistance to pesticides, reporting their own results, reviewing those of others, and offering practical suggestions for applying them. Among the topics are understanding resistance and induced responses of insects to xenobiotics and insecticides in the age of omics and systems biology, concepts and complexities of population genetics,. --ProtoView.com, February 2014
.recent advances in this dynamic field are well documented and explained in the second edition of the book.easy to read and the language is very accessible to non-specialists, so it should be considered a very valuable reference for students and professional researchers interested in IRM, including insect pathologists involved in the use of entomopathogens for pest control. --Society for Invertebrate Pathology Newsletter, June 2014 Contributors from entomology, agriculture, and economics explore aspects of managing insect resistance to pesticides, reporting their own results, reviewing those of others, and offering practical suggestions for applying them.

Author Information
Dr. David W. Onstad has been an entomologist for over 40 years focusing on insect resistance management, insect epizootiology, economics of integrated pest management, and ecological modeling. He was elected fellow of the Entomological Society of America in 2022. Since retiring after 26 years as a professor at the University of Illinois, he has been the lead mathematical modeler for DuPont Pioneer/CortevaAgriscience in support of data-driven strategic decision-making, assessing resistance risks, and product registration and development of transgenic insecticidal crops.
