Which kinds of pesticides are on the market right now?
Transport, pro control, Gentrol, Advion, Delta dust are some pesticides. Pesticides used in agriculture include Round-up (glyphosate) and other herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, etc. Insecticides are used to control household pests.
Are EcoSMART pesticides as effective as conventional synthetic pesticides?
Some of the aerosols are actually superior. For a residual product, I think I would still go "old school" with the real thing.
Do insecticides kill humans?
Some insecticides are just as toxic to humans as they are to insects. Typically, it just takes a larger exposure to affect a human. However, some insecticides can be toxic even in small quantities. Insecticides such as malathion or diazinon would be harmful to humans in much smaller quantities than insecticides derived from soaps or orange peels.
Why does pesticide kill insects even after the rain washes it off?
The residual effect of active ingredients is the reason why pesticides kill insects even after washed away by rainfall. Some insecticides have to be applied after natural or supplementary moisture since the insect killer's ingredients do not have long-lasting after- or side-effects. Other insecticides, such as Talstar, will remain effective for three months regardless of irrigation or precipitation.
Many insects can adapt very quickly to insecticides because?
They don't adapt. Some insects, due to genetic mutation, are naturally immune to pesticides. When pesticides are applied, most insects die but the immune ones survive and reproduce. Pesticides never really solve pest problems and do more harm than good.
How do you pollute the soil?
It is alternate in soil. It is caused by pesticides like insecticides (e.g., DDT, BHC etc.), herbicides and fungicides.
What are some disadvantages of botanical pesticides?
The most complex structure of natural product compounds, easily synthesized or synthetic high cost; active ingredients decompose, preparations are complicated and difficult to standardize; most of the efficacy of botanical pesticides are slow, leading some farmers to believe that the use of pesticides has no effect; spraying more often, residual limitation period is short, not easy for farmers to accept; plant collection is seasonal, etc.
How insecticides help us?
insecticides help farmers to eliminate harmful insects. Most are poisonous but some are concentrated in the food chain.
Is food organic at Ecuador?
If the food is grown without using synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides and does not contain GMOs, it is organic. There is a good chance that it least some food grown in Ecuador is grown organically.

What factors causing mutation?
Mutagens are chemical or physical factors that increase the rate of mutation. Some are natural, and some are synthetic. Some examples of mutagens are: - Cosmic rays - Some viruses - Harmful atomic radiation - Recreational drugs - Tobacco - Alcohol - Pesticides - Asbestos - Soot
What are the dangers of using chemical pesticides or herbicides?
That they affect environmental quality, food webs, population sustainability, and non-target audiences are harmful effects of insecticides. Insecticides can remain in the environment long enough to impact people's health and wildlife's well-being as well as diminish or eliminate predator-prey interactions and pollute such vital natural resources as air and water.
