It is increasingly clear that pest species vary widely in their propensities to develop insecticide resistance. This review uses a comparative approach to analyze the key pest management practices and ecological and biochemical or genetic characteristics of the target that contribute to this variation. We focus on six heliothine species, three of which, Helicoverpa armigera , Heliothis virescens , and Helicoverpa zea , have developed resistances to many pesticide classes. The three others, Helicoverpa punctigera , Helicoverpa assulta , and Helicoverpa gelotopoeon , also significant pests, have developed resistance to very few pesticide classes...
