Pesticides, especially synthetic ones, have been proven extremely helpful for increasing agricultural production and bringing green revolution. These are the substances or chemicals that are employed to control or kill undesirable animals or plants.

2020年11月17日 · Synthetic pesticides can be classified into four main categories according to their chemical composition: Organochloride, organic phosphorus, carbamate, pyrethrin and pyrethroid. Playing a fundamental role in crop safety and productivity enhancement, synthetic pesticides have dominated the global market during the past decades.

There are many classes of synthetic pesticides. The main classes consist of organochlorines, organophosphates, carbamates, and pyrethroids. Exposure to pesticides can cause acute (short term) or chronic (long term) effects on animals and humans, especially in the reproductive, endocrine, and central nervous systems.

In this review, we examined the different types of pesticides, the merits, and demerits of synthetic pesticides and biopesticides, but more importantly, we x-rayed appropriate and sustainable approaches to improve the acceptability and commercial usage of microbial pesticides, phytopesticides, and nanobiopesticides for plant nutrition, crop ...

In recent years, organic pesticides have become a popular alternative to conventional (aka, synthetic) pesticides. However, there is often confusion surrounding the terms “organic” and “synthetic,” and more confusion about their safety and efficacy.

Understanding the different categories of pesticides, such as herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, rodenticides, and biopesticides, helps us comprehend how each function to control pests.

Synthetic chemical pesticides, which were first deployed during the World War II era, are a relatively new development in an epic battle against pests and parasites. Prior to the development of synthetic pesticides, there was a slow, perpetual battle of simple tools and natural chemicals against the incessant onslaught of pests.

2019年9月17日 · Synthetic pesticides are indispensable in intensive agricultural productions. For decades these compounds served as backbone in insect pest management. Due to persistence and pervasiveness of millions of tonnes of synthetic chemical pesticides applied, almost every ecosystem has received a negative impact.

2023年5月1日 · Pyrethroid pesticides are a type of synthetic organic insecticide that has been utilized around the world since the 1980s due to their high efficiency and low toxicity when compared to the organophosphate and carbamate groups of pesticides (Aggarwal and Diddee, 2009; Yoo et al., 2016).

2024年1月1日 · Since biopesticides are plant-, animal-, and microorganism-based pesticides or their derived products as well as natural products, they can be an effective alternative against synthetic pesticides for sustainable agriculture production and protection (Beas-Catena et al., 2014; Manda et al., 2020; Mazid et al., 2011; Olson, 2015; Prabha et al ...
