Figure 6.4. The evolution of resistance to toxin substances, as illustrated by insecticide resistance. As each new group of insecticide was widely adopted, resistance grew, but by the 1980s better management of pesticide use (e.g.. Integrated Pest Management) helped to reduce the incidence of resistance for the newest insecticides (e.g., pyrethroids).

This system of integrated crop production places high demands on all aspects of crop production, including the controlled use of pesticides. Development and benefit from integrated pest management systems depend upon the combined efforts of the researcher, development and scouting persons and a highly trained farmer.
