While considerable progress has been made towards determining the nature of the problem pertaining towards a number of pesticides, elucidation of resistance mechanisms towards the commercial insecticide 'Gammexane' or 'Lindane', has been peculiarly beset by difficulties. This is due, in part, to the manifold nature of this phenomenon; to the physical and chemical properties of the insecticide and to the apparent complexity of its metabolic degradation.pdfen-NZPesticidesPesticide resistanceBiochemistryText
