Overview

This volume details a significant investigation into a primary insect pest of protected crops. Focusing on the phenomenon that enables insects to develop their own protection against the toxic chemicals targeted against them. A phenomenon known as insecticide resistance. It demonstrates failures of the past and highlights potential for the future. Exemplifying the biological and chemical conundrums affecting control of many resistant insects, whilst answering some of the species- specific questions that have been compounded through unabated insecticide use. With relevance to protected cropping systems worldwide, this illustrated text examines the ecological, behavioural and biochemical influences, providing a valuable resource of pertinent information for students and scientists alike.
