Key Features
- Development over time
- Result of repeated use of same insecticide
- Decreased effectiveness of pest control
Pros
- Raises awareness about pesticide resistance in insects
- Encourages development of new pest control strategies
- Promotes integrated pest management techniques
Cons
- Potential for increased crop damage
- Difficulty in controlling insect populations
- Need for investment in research and development of new insecticides
