Insecticide resistance arises when pest populations genetically adapt, rendering chemical treatments ineffective over time. This natural evolutionary process occurs through repeated exposure, leading to survival and reproduction of resistant individuals. While challenging for agriculture and public health, understanding it benefits researchers developing integrated pest management strategies, farmers seeking sustainable crop protection, and policymakers crafting resistance-management guidelines to preserve chemical efficacy.
