Pesticide - Managing Pest Resistance: Encyclopedia II - Pesticide - Managing Pest Resistance

Pest resistance to a pesticide is commonly managed through pesticide rotation or tankmixing with other pesticides. Rotation involves alternating among pesticide classes with different modes of action to delay the onset of or mitigate existing pest resistance. Different pesticide classes may be active on different pest sites of action. The U.S. Environmental Agency (EPA or USEPA), for example, designates different classes of fungicides. Pesticide manufacturers may, on product labeling, require that no more than a specified number of co ...

Pesticide - Managing Pest Resistance

Pest resistance to a pesticide is commonly managed through pesticide rotation or tankmixing with other pesticides.

Rotation involves alternating among pesticide classes with different modes of action to delay the onset of or mitigate existing pest resistance. Different pesticide classes may be active on different pest sites of action. The U.S. Environmental Agency (EPA or USEPA), for example, designates different classes of fungicides. Pesticide manufacturers may, on product labeling, require that no more than a specified number of consecutive applications of a pesticide class be made before alternating to an different pesticide class. This manufacturer requirement is intended to entend the useful life of a product.

Tankmixing pesticides is the combination of two or more pesticides with different modes of action. This practice may improve individual pesticide application results in addition to the benefit of delaying the onset of or mitigating existing pest resistance.
