Evolution of insect resistance to insecticides, using the velvetbean caterpillar (Anticarsia gemmatalis) as an example, was evaluated with the help of a computer simulation model. The e β ects of the following factors were studied : mortality rate, dominance and initial frequency of the resistant gen
Crops resistant to insect attack o β er an alternative strategy of pest control to a total reliance upon chemical pesticides. Transgenic plant technology can be a useful tool in producing resistant crops, by introducing novel resistance genes into a plant species. This technology is seen very much as
## Abstract Efforts have been made during the past three decades to develop insecticides with selective properties that act specifically on biochemical sites present in particular insect groups, but whose properties differ from other insecticides. This approach has led to the discovery of compounds
