CONCLUDING REMARKS
Our battle against pests is not inevitably a losing one. There is no
indication that we have reached any fundamental limits in our capacity to protect
crops. We must realize resistance is a natural phenomenon and one which must
be fought with all available weapons to keep the balance in our favor. The
resistance problem can be contained, but it requires the understanding and
cooperation of everyone.
