NOTICE: The project that is the subject of this report was approved by the Governing Board of the
National Research Council, whose members are drawn from the councils of the National Academy
of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine. The members of
the committee responsible for the report were chosen for their special competences and with regard
for appropriate balance.
This report has been reviewed by a group other than the authors according to procedures approved
by a Report Review Committee consisting of members of the National Academy of Sciences, the
National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine.
The National Research Council was established by the National Academy of Sciences in 1916 to
associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy's purposes of furthering
knowledge and of advising the federal government. The Council operates in accordance with general
policies determined by the Academy under the authority of its congressional charter of 1863, which
establishes the Academy as a private, nonprofit, self-governing membership corporation. The Council
has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National
Academy of Engineering in the conduct of their services to the government, the public, and the
scientific and engineering communities. It is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute
of Medicine. The National Academy of Engineering and the Institute of Medicine were established
in 1964 and 1970, respectively, under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences.

Preface
THE BRIGHT FUTURE projected for crop protection and public health as
a result of the introduction of synthetic organic pesticides is now open
to serious question because of an alarming increase in the number of
instances of resistance in insects, plant pathogens, and vertebrates, and to a
lesser extent in weeds. There are no longer available any effective pesticides
against some major crop pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle on Long
Island and the diamondback moth on cruciferous crops in much of the tropical
world. Likewise, the malaria eradication programs of many countries are in
disarray, in large part because vector mosquitoes are no longer adequately
controlled with available insecticides. The incidence of malaria is resurging
at an alarming rate. Because of the costs of bringing new pesticides to market,
there are fewer new pesticides, and those produced are targeted only for
major crops and pests. Resistance to pesticides, which first involved only
insecticides, now exists for fungicides, bactericides, rodenticides, nemati-
cides, and herbicides.
Concern for the resistance problem has been expressed by the pesticide
industry, farmers, crop protection scientists and practitioners, and govern-
ment agencies. During the past 25 years there have been several symposia
on the subject, and considerable research has been conducted on the genetic,
biochemical, and physiological bases for resistance. As a result, much has
been learned about the phenomenon; however, few methods have been de-
veloped to date for preventing or delaying the onset of resistance to pesticides,
other than eliminating or minimizing their use. In the past, problems have
been overcome by the substitution of new pesticides. This procedure is

PREFACE
threatened, because the rate of introduction of new pesticides has slowed
dramatically during the last few years.
New technologies and information have been developed in recent years
that appear to have promise for application in finding ways to avoid or at
least delay development of resistance. Thus, a new study was initiated, under
the aegis of the Board on Agriculture.
The evolutionary process by which organisms develop strains resistant to
chemicals is universal throughout the extensive range of organisms in which
the problem now exists. It was decided, therefore, to enlist the assistance of
basic scientists in evolution, population genetics, modeling, and biochem-
istry. It was also decided to make the study inclusive across pest classes and
involve international experts from academia, government, and industry. In-
asmuch as the application of solutions will have to take place in the field or
wherever pests are found, we also enlisted crop protection practitioners.
Finally, because resistance management systems may involve economics,
regulations, and policy, representatives from these fields were recruited.
The objectives of this study were to (1) identify promising strategies to
avoid or delay the development of pesticide-resistant strains of pest species,
as well as manage established resistant pest populations; (2) establish research
priorities to develop these strategies and new approaches not currently in
use; (3) stimulate pertinent research, not only in those disciplines concerned
with resistance of pests affecting plants and animals, but in related fields as
well; and (4) analyze the impact of changes in policy that will be needed to
implement these strategies.
To.accomplish these objectives, the committee organized a conference
held in Washington, D.C., November 27-29, 1984. The conference consisted
of a two-day symposium at which invited papers were presented, followed
by a one-day workshop attended by the committee, symposium speakers,
and additional scientists who were asked to participate.
The conference was designed to produce this volume, which integrates a
report prepared by the Committee on Strategies for the Management of
Pesticide Resistant Pest Populations and the symposium papers themselves.
The report is based on the committee's deliberations, the symposium papers,
and the workshop discussions, while the papers represent the ideas of the
individual authors. A group of papers follows each relevant section of the
report. A glossary is included to communicate as broadly as possible among
the disciplines and backgrounds of the many interests concerned with man-
agement of resistance to pesticides.
We hope this book will prove useful to many people, especially those
involved in pest control, whether in industry, academia, government, applied
pest management, or decision making.
We are grateful to our many scientific colleagues who have given gen-
erously of their knowledge and time to this study. Special thanks and ap
