Biological resistance is inevitable if there is a mild single mode of action. It doesn't matter if you are organic, permaculture or conventional. If you use a single mode of action that lets some survive, it will be resisted eventually.

Did you know insects can develop resistance to crop rotations and spring burns? Resistance isn't limited to chemicals.
