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 ...

Insecticides have been used for centuries to counteract widespread pest damage to valuable food crops. Eventually, over time, ...

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 ...

A Perth-based geospatial tech firm has unveiled its latest innovation, a data visualisation tool which can display the ...

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 ...

NAIROBI - The spread of a mosquito in East Africa that thrives in urban areas and is immune to insecticide is fuelling a ...

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