[Correct use of insecticides: management of resistance]

Abstract

A review of the effective strategies, outlooks and tactics connected with the management of resistance was made. It was explained that these tactics are not excluding, since some of their elements may be used to set up a long-term resistance management program, and that the strategy should be based on a deep knowledge of the implications for each candidate insecticide resistance, and of the ecology and biology of those species involved. It was also stressed that this strategy should comprise all the non-chemical available fighting measures.
