Pest Resistance Management

Pest Resistance Management involves strategies to prevent pests from becoming resistant to pesticides or pest control methods. Over time, pests can adapt and survive treatments, making control harder. To combat this, farmers and pest managers rotate different types of treatments, combine methods like biological control or crop rotation, and use targeted doses. These approaches help slow resistance development, ensuring pests remain manageable and reducing the need for stronger or more frequent chemical use. Overall, it promotes sustainable pest control by preserving the effectiveness of control measures and protecting crops and the environment.
