Pesticide
is a toxic chemical substance or a mixture of substances or biological agents intentionally released into the environment to control and destroy pests
organochlorines, organophosphorus, and carbamates
Chemical pesticide
Bacillus thuringiensis
biological agent or microbial agents (biopesticide
Antimicrobial
agent/compounds or disinfectants used to disinfect seeds and postharvest products
Pyrethrins
from chrysanthemum
Nicotine
from tobacco
Rotenone
from Derris
Synthetic
pyrethroids, nicotinoids, and rotenoids
Biological or Biopesticide
derived from natural materials such as animals, plants, and microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi, and nematodes). more host-specific, less toxic to non-target organisms, and environmentally friendly than chemical pesticides
Microbial pesticides
could be the microorganism itself or a toxin, or any product from microorganisms
Aztron, Dipel, Thuricide
Bacillus thuringiensis commerical brands
Botanical pesticide
Organic pesticides derived from plants (pyrethrins, rotenone, nicotine, sabadilla, ryania
Pyrethrins
refined 6 esters obtained from pyrethrum extracted from chrysanthemum
Tanacetum sp.
pyrethrum came from what plant genus
Pyrethroids
synthetic compounds produced to mimic the effects of the pyrethrin ester
Rotenone
Caused convulsions and death of insects
Nicotinoid
a contact poison that affect the nerves causing deat
Imidacloprid and thiamethoxam
effective against thrips, leafhoppers, whiteflies, cutworms
Schoenocaulon officinale
sabadilla came from what plant
Sabadilla
contact and stomach poison
It affects the nerves causing death of caterpillars, leafhoppers, thrips, stink bugs, and squash bugs attacking vegetables
Azadiracta indica
Azadiractin obtained from what plant
Azadiractin
seeds of Azadiracta indica have the highest concentration of what
Ryania speciosa
Ryania obtained from the roots and stems of
Ryania
This alkaloid is useful as a contact or stomach poison and directly prevents muscles from contracting, causing paralysis
Insect deterrents, Insect repellents, and Insect growth regulators
The majority of the insecticidal plants are
Biochemical pesticide
natural materials with nontoxic mechanisms to control pests.
Insect sex pheromones
example of biochemical pesticide
Parathion, Dieldrin
extremely hazardous
Median lethal dose
LD50
Poison, extremely hazardous

Natural insecticides
are either plant-based or from mineral oils, chemical composition
Synthetic insecticide
are also either inorganic or organic in origin, but most are of organic origin.
organochlorines, organophosphates, carbamates, pyrethroids
synthetic insecticide
Organochlorines
chlorinated hydrocarbons.
DDT, BHC
two organochlorines that were banned in advanced countries like the US because of persistence or long-term residual effect in the environment
dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane
DDT
benzene hexachloride
BHC
Organophosphates
are derivatives of phosphoric acid, These pesticides are biodegradable, causing minimum environmental pollution but are potentially toxic to various non- target species affecting the nervous impulses leading to paralysis and death
Organophosphates
a stomach poison, • contact poison, • fumigant poison leading to nerve poisons
Malathion, Parathion, Diazinon, Dichlorvos
examples of Organophosphates
Carbamates
Similar to organophosphates but are derived from carbamic acid
carbaryl (Sevin), carbofuran (Furadan), and propoxur
Carbamates example
Synthetic pyrethroids
Synthesized by duplicating the structure of natural pyrethrins. Relatively more stable with more prolonged residual effects. • are highly toxic to insects and fish but slightly toxic to mammals and birds.
Synthetic pyrethroids
broken easily on exposure to light and considered the safest insecticides for use
Allethrin and Permethrin
examples of SP
physical poison
heavy mineral oils and inert dust
protoplasmic poison
Arsenicals
heavy metals
HG and acids
respiratory poison
hydrogen cyanide, rotenone, dinitrophenols
nerve poison
organophosphates such as malathion
chitin synthesis inhibitors
diflubenzuron
stomach poison
Bt formulation
Broad-spectrum pesticides
kill a wide range of pests and other non-target organisms.
Chlorpyrifos (Dursban)
Broad-spectrum insecticide is
glyphosate (Roundup)
Broad-spectrum herbicide is
Selective or Narrow spectrum pesticides
kill only a specific or group of pests leaving other organisms unaffected or with little effect
Pirimicarb
aphids as a target
2, 4-D
affects broad leaves and not the grassy
