This book reviews the current status of resistance to pesticides used to control pest organisms in countries associated with the Pan Pacific Region.

The volume concentrates on three main areas: insecticide, herbicide and fungicide resistance aspects, providing the most up to date information on the status, mechanisms, detection strategies and ecologically sound management of resistance.
