Full Description

This exam focuses on the mechanisms of pest resistance to natural enemies. It examines genetic factors, behavioral adaptations, and the implications for biocontrol strategies.

Understanding pest resistance is vital for developing durable biocontrol approaches. It clarifies the need for adaptive management strategies that account for evolutionary dynamics in pest populations.

Candidates will be evaluated on their ability to explain the types of resistance mechanisms, analyze case studies of resistance in agricultural pests, and propose management practices to mitigate resistance development.

Discussion may extend to current research trends in pest resistance and the impact of agricultural practices on resistance evolution.
