Objective
The development of resistance to insecticides and acaricides by the arthropod pests poses a serious and increasing threat to the sustainability of pest management practices throughout the world. In Europe, resistance is now rapidly diminishing the supply of pesticides considered vital for controlling many crop and livestock pests.
By promoting more frequent application of chemicals, often at higher rates or in mixtures, it also has adverse implications for the environment, food industry and human safety.
The Concerted Action outlined in the proposal will provide, for the first
time in Europe, a forum for the open exchange and dissemination of data on the incidence of resistance, the transfer of techniques for diagnosing resistance at the toxicological, biochemical and molecular levels, and the promotion of control strategies that prevent or delay resistance development. This will be achieved by convening two resistance management workshops, promoting collaborative research projects, and by compiling a comprehensive resistance database that will be freely accessible to all European researchers and other interested parties. The CA will also provide limited support for short-time training visits aimed at strengthening research in regions that lag behind in the development of programmes for resistance management. Workers in 16 organisations in 13 EU and EFTA countries have enthusiastically committed themselves to this exciting new initiative, and to achieve a level of international collaboration in resistance research that is currently unprecedented anywhere in the world.
