Insect resistance management (IRM) is crucial for sustainable pest control. This session brings together experts across diverse agricultural systems to discuss key challenges, strategies and innovations in IRM. Attendees will gain insights into resistance mechanisms, ecological approaches, and practical solutions to enhance pest management.
