Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There were about 16,920 cases of insecticide resistance reported from 1914 to 2020. Insecticide resistance is a long-standing problem that not only affects the efficacy and utility of insecticides in agriculture and public health, but also threatens the quality of agricultural products and environmental safety. Meanwhile, insecticide resistance also impacts the ability and willingness of companies around the world to invest in new compounds. The outbreak of extremely high resistance to the main insecticides in some important pest insects has caused disastrous losses in agriculture. Therefore, it is important to implement management stategies to prevent resistance. To evaluate the resistance risk of an insecticide, resistance development must be monitored, and the resistance mechanisms that could contribute to their effective management should be studied. The current Special Issue includes international communications regarding the most recent research results on insecticide resistance and toxicology in insects related to agriculture, horticulture and public health.
