At what point after treatment will the group treated with pesticide probably reach its pretreatment population?

Sagot :

The insects become resistant and are able to survive to reproduce and create a population that is also resistant.

Hence, after a point where the population survives pesticides and become resistant to it, it will reach its pretreatment population.

How do insects become resistant to pesticides over time?

  • Spraying the same pesticide often enables pests to develop resistant genes which enable them to survive.
  • Insects without resistance genes die when exposed to insecticides, allowing individuals with resistance genes to survive and breed, resulting in more resistant insects.
  • The number of resistant insects grows with each generation. Hence the pesticide often becomes ineffective over time.
