Abstract
Sometimes a plant or a variety may be classified as resistant due to unfavourable environmental conditions for the insect and no heritable trait is involved. In this case, there may be differential impact of the environment on the host plant and on the insect which affects the expression of resistance. Pseudo resistance, which refers to apparent resistance resulting from transitory characters in potentially susceptible host plants.
