Abstract excerpt
Pyrethroids, with their lack of persistence and low mammalian toxicity, have been important insecticides since the early 1970s. However, heavy use has selected for resistance to pyrethroids in populations of many insects, in particular the tobacco budworm Heliothis virescens, a major cotton pest...
