Abstract

Instances of resistance or increased tolerance of insects to insecticidal treatment are briefly reviewed. A study is being made of the development of resistance to HCN gas of several species of insects. The results of fumigation experiments with Drosophila melanogaster Meig. and Aphis gossypii Glover are presented.
