The agricultural use of synthetic insecticides usually protects crops but imposes strong selection pressures that can result in the development of resistance. The most important resistance mechanisms are enhancement of the capacity to metabolically detoxify insecticides and alterations in target sites that prevent insecticides from binding to them. Insect control methods must incorporate strategies to minimize resistance development and preserve the utility of the insecticides. The most…

Western flower thrips resistance to insecticides: detection, mechanisms and management strategies.
TLDR
More effective management of western-flower-thrips- and thrips-transmitted virus management will be achieved by considering their management in the context of overall integrated pest management, with IRM being a key component of those comprehensive programs.
Insecticidal transgenic plants: are they irresistible?
TLDR
There is no single proven resistance management strategy that may be recommended as a general approach to avoid resistance to transgenic Bt plants, and insects show great variability in their genetic responses to selection by Bt toxins.
Evaluation of potential pyrethrum synergists on agriculturally significant insect species
TLDR
PBO proved to be the most effective pyrethrum synergist in all species tested, however, a number of natural plant oils also showed efficacy and dill apiole oil and parsley seed oil contain the methylenedioxyphenol ring structure that is characteristic of PBO.
An overview of the main pathways of metabolic resistance in insects
TLDR
An overview of insecticide resistance mechanisms in insects is given, focusing on the metabolic systems involved in xenobiotic metabolism in the class Insecta.
Intensified agriculture favors evolved resistance to biological control
TLDR
It is concluded that low plant and enemy biodiversity in intensive large-scale agriculture may facilitate the evolution of host resistance by pests and threaten the long-term viability of biological control.
Pesticide selectivity to natural enemies: challenges and constraints for research and field recommendation
TLDR
The importance of selective pesticides in IPM programs, and the effects of chemical pesticides on parasitoids, predators, and entomopathogenic fungi are focused on.
Biochemical resistance detection: an alternative to bioassay.
The genetic, molecular and phenotypic consequences of selection for insecticide resistance.
Insecticide synergists: role, importance, and perspectives.
TLDR
The nature, mode of action, role in resistance management, natural occurrence, and significance in research of insecticide synergists are reviewed.
Bioengineering of crop plants and resistant biotype evolution in insects: Counteracting coevolution
TLDR
It is concluded that the best use of biotechnology in crop protection is to reintroduce chemical diversity into crop plants to counteract insect defensive evolution by keeping the selection pressure as variable as possible.

Problems in countering resistance
It has often been assumed that the discovery of new insecticides will keep pace with resistance. However, escalation in the cost of developing new pest control agents, and the ever-increasing number…
Insect Resistance to the Biological Insecticide Bacillus thuringiensis
TLDR
It was found that Plodia interpunctella, a major lepidopteran pest of stored grain products, can develop resistance to the insecticide within a few generations, indicating that the resistance can develop quickly in the field.
Insecticide solvents: interference with insecticidal action.
Several commercial solvent mixtures commonly used as insecticide carriers in spray formulations increase by more than threefold the microsomal N-demethylation of p-chloro N-methylaniline in midgut…

TLDR
Calculation of published data on house flies indicates that the difference in the integrated area between penetration and detoxication represents the accumulation of toxicants, the amount of which determines the different in toxicity to different species of insects as well as to the susceptible and resistant strains of the same species.
Changing Role of Insecticides in Crop Protection
TLDR
This review focuses on this turbulent scene with analysis of the reasons for the changes that have occurred and of the inevitability of development of an economically practical and socially acceptable technol­ ogy for the rational and judicious use of chemical insecticides, i.e. integrated pest management (IPM).
Field measurement of the effective dominance of an insecticide resistance in anopheline mosquitos.
TLDR
Anopheles culicifacies that were susceptible, heterozygous, or homozygous resistant to HCH and dieldrin were differentially marked with fluorescent dusts and released twice weekly into village huts in Pakistan to see which of the genotypes died and which survived.
Carbamate Insecticides: The Cross-Resistance Spectra of Four Carbamate-Resistant Strains of the House Fly After Protracted Selection Pressure
TLDR
House fly strains maximally resistant to m -isopropylphenyl N -methylcarbamate and Isolan® were further selected routinely with these compounds to maintain resistance and showed greater resemblance to the spectra of organophosphorus-than of chlorinated hydrocarbon-selected strains, thus suggesting relationships in esterases responsible for organoph phosphate detoxication.
Induction of detoxication enzymes in insects.
TLDR
Evidence is presented that some plant species and some plant allelochemicals are capable of enhancement and that this is sufficient to increase the tolerance of an insect to various insecticides, and it is suggested that induction by plant chemicals may be involved in the insect's adaptation to its plant diet.
Comparative Toxicities of Some Insecticides to the Tobacco Budworm and Its Ichneumonid Parasite, Campoletis sonorensis
TLDR
The data indicate that hydrolytically metabolized insecticides may be best suited for use in integrated control programs as they are less likely to selectively kill parasite populations.
Comparative modification of insecticide-resistance spectrum of Culex pipiens fatigans wied. By selection with temephos and temephos/synergist combinations
