Talk:Pesticide resistance

message: This is very much just a starter. I finally found a general definition (and since EPPO standards are accepted in EU legislation this should be acceptable)
Suggested sections are (in no particular order).
*Mechanisms of resistance
*Management/Prevention of resistance
*Resistance risk assessment
*Examples/cases
*Causes of resistance
I have knowledge/expertise in insecticide and fungicide resistance and would be grateful for inputs in other areas, particularly herbicides.
It may make sense to split off articles on insecticide/herbicide/fungicide resistance.
All comments welcome. Maccheek 09:40, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Initial thoughts

message: Parts of the article are taking an anti pesticide stance, while some of the comments may be valid they ignore the benefits of pesticides and that new compounds are much safer.
also, the sentence about Rachel Carson predicting the resistance does not seem to be that relevant, and lacks an adequate source.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.202.194.9 (talk) 03:18, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Possible bias

message: Artificial selection refers to when humans deliberately select for particular traits by deciding which members of a population to breed. This is not really what is going on with pesticide resistance (I hope...) so I have changed this to "selection", which describes both artificial and natural selection.

thread_title: Artificial Selection

message: The introduction to this page says that Rachel Carson predicted pesticide resistance in 1962. However, the DDT article notes that DDT resistance was *observed* in 1956. Any suggestions? -- De Guerre (talk) 02:22, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, . The previous short desc made no sense whatsoever ""Bugs, weeds, ... surviving chemicals."" But you could help coming together with a short desc that would help. Mine was "decreased effectiveness of a pesticide on a pest" So I would like to come to an agreement as to firstly where the issues lies, seconarly how can it be fixed and Wiki Tech be updated to reflect that. I kindly await your response. waddie96 ★ (talk) 19:11, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: As a suggestion, we can alter the short desc with: "reduced efficacy of pesticides on pests" (less than 39 words), captures the basics of the article without drawing away from the more detailed explanation to await. waddie96 ★ (talk) 19:20, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

message: Hello  This short description  is over 40 characters long and that is the recommended limit. I wrote the previous version however I'm not sure it's very good and we don't have to keep it. However I think we should stay at/under 40. Invasive Spices (talk) 22:28, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
