Abstract

This is perhaps the classic example of insect control by the use of resistant plant varieties and has remained a major means of control for this insect since late in the nineteen century. There are many less well known examples of control of insect damage by the use of resistant plant varieties which have saved enormous amounts of money for farmers. Painter (1951) in his unique book on this subject "Insect Resistance in Crop Plants” describes the development of wheat varieties resistant to hessian fly in Kansas, California and Indiana, Which are now being grown on several million acres.
