Geneticists have developed a gene drive-based solution to the widespread problem of insecticide resistance. In an effort to protect valuable crops, the researchers created an 'e-Drive' that reverses ...

Since insecticides are the most prevalent way of controlling crop damage from pests, their overuse has rendered pests ...

Here at the Pesticide Safety Education Program, we discuss pesticide resistance topics, such as rotating pesticide chemistries, utilizing thresholds, and using non-chemical control practices such as ...

Just as crop-devouring insects evolve to resist pesticides, cancer cells can increase their lethality by developing ...

Researchers explore how established agricultural pest management strategies could be adapted to address cancer therapy. The pioneering method opens new possibilities for controlling drug resistance ...

Eventually, over time, beetles, moths, flies and other insects develop genetic mutations that render the insecticide chemicals ineffective. Escalating resistance by these mutants forces farmers and ...

It can be frustrating to see your hard work threatened by invasive garden pests. These unwelcome visitors can cause ...

Researchers explore how established agricultural pest management strategies could be adapted to address cancer therapy. The ...

The death of six children from a pesticide galvanised the South African government to declare a national disaster.
