Sustainability of agricultural production has become a familiar topic of discourse in corporate, regulatory, and academic settings.  Yet, sustainability is a polite fiction for many pest control tactics used against target pests and ecosystems of high resistance risks.  In many such cases, resistance has reduced field performance of products in a decade or less. <br/>A more realistic goal of resistance management programs is to significantly extend the useful life of pest control products.  In most cases, practical success of resistance management programs can be achieved when a pesticide mode of action group remains free of economically significant reductions in target pest susceptibility for &gt;10-15 years.  Extending product durability in this manner promotes effective pest management and therein, product profitability.  Within this context, I will discuss noteworthy examples of successful management of insect resistance from the past twenty years and highlight key factors contributing to the successes.
