Insect resistance to pesticides: Mechanisms, evolution, and sustainable management strategies
Authors
Shreya R Patil
Abstract
Insect resistance to pesticides represents a major constraint to
sustainable agriculture and vector control worldwide. Continuous exposure of
insect populations to chemical pesticides has accelerated the evolution of
resistance, leading to reduced efficacy of control measures. This review
provides a comprehensive analysis of resistance mechanisms, including metabolic
detoxification, target-site insensitivity, behavioral avoidance, and reduced
penetration. It further explores evolutionary drivers, global case studies, and
modern detection tools. Emphasis is placed on integrated pest management (IPM),
biopesticides, and emerging genetic technologies for resistance mitigation.
Sustainable strategies integrating ecological, molecular, and regulatory
approaches are essential to manage resistance effectively.
