Abstract

The session was opened by Dr R.H.Gonzalez, on behalf of the Director of the Plant Production and Protection Division, FAO, Rome, Dr D.F.Waterhouse was re-elected Chairman and Dr Gonzalez acted as Secretary. In the opening statement Dr Gonzalez reviewed the major achievement of the former Working Party of Experts on Pest Resistance to Pesticides. This body, throughout its 10 session period (1965-1974) had carried out a substantial amount of work in the field of pest resistance to pestcides, inculuding world surveys of the progressive development of resistance. The Working Party has also developed a number of standardised laboratory test methods for assessing the pesticide susceptibility of major pests, and had reviewed a number of alternative methods of control, inculding problems concerned with developing the use of insect viruses. Reference was also made to a number of action arising out of the World Food Conference(November, 1974) which subsequantly led a change in the title of the former Working Party to that of the FAO Panel of Experts on Pest Resistance to Pesticides and Crop Loss Assessement. Dr Waterhouse welcomed members of the Panel and expressed his conviction that through the meetings of the Working Party, totalling less than two months in all, a very great deal had been achieved. A review of progress was to be published following the forthcoming International Congress of Entomology
