What are the Strategies to Manage Insecticide Resistance?
Managing insecticide resistance requires an integrated approach. Key strategies include:
1. Rotating Insecticides: Using different classes of insecticides with varying modes of action to reduce selective pressure. 2. Combining Control Methods: Integrating chemical, biological, and environmental control measures. 3. Educating Communities: Raising awareness about proper insecticide use and encouraging non-chemical methods. 4. Developing New Insecticides: Research and innovation in creating new compounds with unique mechanisms of action.
