Resurgence
Mostly documented with insect pests
Mostly associated with indirect, secondary/minor
pests for several reasons.
Key pests are watched too closely to resurge
Direct pests are mainly late-season pests & there isn’t
time to resurge
Pest must be held at least partially in check by some
agent that is affected by the pesticide
Note Fig. 12-6 in book.

Resurgence

  • Mostly documented with insect pests
  • Mostly associated with indirect, secondary/minor

pests for several reasons.

  • Key pests are watched too closely to resurge
  • Direct pests are mainly late-season pests & there isn’t time to resurge
  • Pest must be held at least partially in check by some agent that is affected by the pesticide
  • Note Fig. 12-6 in book.

Resistance

  • Mostly a problem with pesticides (so far)

but applies to all management tactics. Ex:

  • Biological Control – Rabbits & virus, Bt
  • Cultural Control – corn rootworms & rotation
  • Host Plant Resistance – many examples
  • Most serious, general problem in IPM
  • Arises because all management actions

are selection pressures

  • Problem is rapidly getting worse

Resistance is best understood as a process

Initially, a small proportion of population has a resistant mechanism by chance.

The Resistance Process

These individuals survive at a higher rate than others

Resistance as a process

Eventually, the pesticide or other management tactic causes too little control to be effective.

The process has three general stages, each

with its own Management Strategy

Prevention

Abandon Pesticide/Management Tactic

Need to monitor resistance

Causes of Resistance

Independent of Pesticide

  1. Genetic Factors
  2. Ecological Factors
  3. Severity of Selective Pressure

1. Genetic Causes of Resistance

  • Genetic Factors
    • Relative dominance – More dominant is bad
    • Linkage to phenotype – Fewer genes is bad
    • Initial resistant pop – Prior exposure
    • Broad diversity & diversity-maintenance
      • Low diversity associated with foreign pests
      • Sexual reproduction
      • Haplo-diploidy

3. Selection Pressure

  • Selective pressure is “high” if a “low” percentage

of susceptibles survive to reproduce

  • Reduce pressure by: (1) reduce dosage & (2) reduce frequency
  • Site of action
  • Alternating modes of action reduces pressure
  • Spatial coverage – reduce pressure by reducing

coverage

  • Timing – Using pesticides after reproduction

reduces selective pressure

Resistance Categories

  • Resistance to individual pesticides
    1. Delayed entrance of toxicant
    2. Increased deactivation/decreased activation
    3. Decreased sensitivity
    4. Behavioral avoidance
  • Resistance to multiple pesticides
    1. Cross-resistance & class resistance
    2. Multiple resistance
    3. Multiplicate resistance
