Abstract
Resistance to ronnel was intensified in a laboratory colony of horn flies, Haematobia irritans (L.), by exposing flies to the insecticide for 18 out of 28 generations and rearing each succeeding generation from the survivors. By this process of selection a strain was developed that tolerated 50 times more ronnel than did susceptible flies.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
