Summary

Here is the most up-to-date and comprehensive treatise available on the internationally important topic of resistance of pests to pesticides. It offers both practical and theoretical methods for combating resistance of target species to herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides. Among the topics covered in its 32 chapters are strategies to delay resistance; structural and biochemical characterization of resistance species; genetic modification of species to alter resistance characteristics; and computer models for managing resistance. This volume is novel in both the breadth of its coverage and in its focus on the chemical community.
