• “substances or mixtures of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling any insect…”

INSECTicides

01:16 AM

Attractants

Repellants

Prevents insects to enter a specific area *Pheromones in high concentration

lures animals to a predetermined spot*Pheromones*Baits

01:16 AM

Systemic Insecticide

touch rather than inhalation or ingestion

moves to the point where the insect will contact or ingest it

Contact Insecticide

01:16 AM

Basic Chemical Groups

EstersAmines

01:16 AM

• Contact- dermal – through skin

• Stomach - oral – through mouth

• Respiration - inhalation by nose

Modes of Entry into Insects

01:16 AM

1.ORGANOCHLORINES

2.ORGANOPHOSPHARUS

3.CARBAMATES

01:16 AM

ORGANOCHLORINES

•t 1 / 2 = 7-30y•Persistent•Lipophil ic•Non-selective•Neurotoxins•Reproductive toxins

01:16 AM

Organochlorines

•Most have been banned in the U.S•Several were used in forestry• DDT• Lindane• Dicofol (Kelthane)• Endosulfan (Thiodan)

01:16 AM

•DICHLORO DIPHENYL TRICHLOROETHANE

•1874-ZEIDLER

•1939-PAUL MULLER.

DDT

01:16 AM

PROPERTIES•White amorphous powder

•Insoluble in water

•Soluble in organic solvents

•Attractant

•Technical has 70-80% of the para-para isomer

01:16 AM

• Contact poison

• No repellent action

• Neurotoxin

• Residual action last for 18 months

DDT ACTION

01:16 AM

• Applied at a dosage of 100-200 mg.per square foot area

• Earned the reputation of being an “environmental pollution”

• Many developed countries have restricted the use of DDT

01:16 AM

•Benzene hexachloride or hexachlorocyclohexane

•Michael Faraday -1825

•1933

01:16 AM

•White or chocolate coloured powder

• Musty smell

• Irritant to the eyes, nose & skin

•Repellant

•Crude form number of isomers with gamma isomer as the most active constituent

properties

01:16 AM

BHC vs DDT

•Technical HCH -13to 16 percent of the gamma isomer

•Pure HCH -99 percent of the gamma HCH

•More insecticidal than DDT

•Insecticidal action is not as prolonged as that of DDT

01:16 AM

DISADVANTAGES

•Acts against environment.

•danger to ecosystem.

•Plants treated with pesticides don’t need to produce as much of their own natural defenses, so the levels are lower.

01:16 AM

Valid? WHO Expert Committee “No valid reason to discontinue the use of DDT because its safety for human use remains unchallenged despite the tremendous amount of research”.
