Managing Resistance to Agrochemicals: From Fundamental ...

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.brUnderstanding and Combating Agrochemical Resistance: A Chemist's Perspective on an Interdisciplinary Challengebr/brbrOverview of Insecticide Resistancebr/brbrResistance Mechanisms to Carbamate and Organophosphate Insecticidesbr/brbrBiochemical and Genetic Mechanisms of Insecticide Resistancebr/brbrCharacterization and Exploitation of Instability of Spider Mite Resistance to Acaricidesbr/brbrLaboratory Evaluation and Empirical Modeling of Resistance-Countering Strategiesbr/brbrTargeting Insecticide-Resistant Markets: New Developments in Microbial-Based Productsbr/brbrStrategies for Managing Resistance to Insecticides in Heliothis Pests of Cottonbr/brbrPyrethroid Resistance in Heliothis spp.: Current Monitoring and Management Programsbr/brbrManagement of Pesticide Resistance in Arthropod Pests: Research and Policy Issuesbr/brbrAntiresistance Strategies; Design and Implementation in Practicebr/brbrSterol Biosynthesis Inhibitors: Model Studies with Respect to Modes of Action and Resistancebr/brbrResistance to Sterol Biosynthesis-Inhibiting Fungicides: Current Status and Biochemical Basisbr/brbrBiochemical Basis of Resistance to Phenylamide Fungicidesbr/brbrMechanism of Action of N-Phenylcates to Benzimidazole-Resistant Neurospora Strainsbr/brbrBindin
