Expanding use ofneonicotinoidproducts against agricultural pests on cross-commodity crops will increase the risk for resistance.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Development of resistance to oneneonicotinoidcompound may constitute a threat to all members of this class.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Because of possible shared target sites and similar degradation pathways amongneonicotinoidcompounds, the major concern with intensive use of these products is the potential for cross-resistance.
