Management Practices for Insect Resistance in Bt Maize
, 2016 The failure to reduce the population of a phytophagous species recognized as a key pest in a given situation usually occurs by not using the principles of Integrated Pest Manage‐ ment (IPM). The control of insect pests in agriculture has been done mainly through the application of chemical insecticides.
