Full Description
This exam examines the biological mechanisms through which insects develop resistance to chemical pesticides. The focus includes genetic, biochemical, and ecological factors contributing to resistance.
Knowledge of insect resistance mechanisms is vital for designing effective pest control strategies and mitigating the challenges posed by resistant populations in agricultural systems.
Students will articulate the mechanisms of resistance, including metabolic detoxification and behavioral resistance, and evaluate their implications in pest management.
Candidates are expected to discuss case studies that highlight resistance evolution in major pest species.
Sample Questions
- What are the major biochemical mechanisms that contribute to insect resistance against pesticides?
- How does genetic variability among insect populations affect resistance development?
