Description

Pesticide resistance remains a growing problem in the agricultural sector worldwide, with reports suggesting that more than 600 species of pests have developed some level of resistance to the key groups of pesticides, including fungicides, insecticides and herbicides. A greater research effort is required to understand patterns of resistance and how they can be addressed to maintain crop protection.

Global trends in pesticide resistance provides a comprehensive overview of pesticide use in particular regions around the world and the consequent development of resistance to the key groups of pesticides. The book reviews what we know about current patterns of resistance, gaps in knowledge, likely future trends in resistance and potential solutions such as integrated disease, pest and weed management.

Key Features

Provides a truly global insight into pesticide use and pesticide resistance
Brings together the latest information on patterns of resistance in different regions and what this means for the future of pesticide use
Considers potential solutions such as more targeted pesticide use and role of alternative approaches, including integrated disease, pest and weed management
