Claim · model-written summary
Drought driven insecticide movement may reduce pesticide performance.
Verbatim
e0“and that may have two concurrent consequences: 1) reduced pesticide performance, and 2) increased likelihood of insect pests evolving behavioral insecticide resistance.”
e1“We hypothesize that more pronounced drought will decrease uptake and increase the magnitude of nonuniform translocation of systemic insecticides within treated crop plants”

- Association Drought is hypothesized to increase nonuniform insecticide translocation.
- Mechanism Drought driven insecticide movement may increase pest behavioral resistance.
- Mechanism Pests avoiding lethal insecticide doses may gain selective advantage.
- Mechanism Insects may feed and oviposit on low insecticide crop portions.
