Title Wicked evolution: Can we address the sociobiological dilemma of pesticide resistance?
Author Fred Gould, Zachary S. Brown, Jennifer Kuzma
Date 2018-05-18
Description Resistance to insecticides and herbicides has cost billions of U.S. dollars in the agricultural sector and could result in millions of lives lost to insect-vectored diseases. We mostly continue to use pesticides as if resistance is a temporary issue that will be addressed by commercialization of new pesticides with novel modes of action.
