6.pestresurgence occurs bc most resistant mrembers of a population survive pesticide treatment and porduce more offspring . bc most pests prodice off spring fast the pop quickly rebuilds w/ pesticide resistent individuals.pestidice treadmill- the resistence means that it takes constantly increasing doeses to get the same effect or that farmers who are caught in it must constantly try newer and more toxic chemicals in an attempt to stay ahead of the pest.
