We don't think Melbourne is in any way unusual in having high concentrations of this insecticide in its urbanwetlands. California has also recognised the risk from bifenthrin and is trying to implement changes to the way it is used. However, in other Australian cities it is not clear whether...
cleaning of facilities using appropriate detergent and disinfectant is helpful in the prevention of ectoparasite. Eliminate areas where external parasites can breed and develop (e.g. elimination of standing water reservoirs decreases mosquito levels). The use of Insecticides and fly predators may be ...
Moreover, because zooplankton play a key role in aquatic food webs, it is expected that population variation in resistance would dramatically alter aquatic food webs, particularly with exposure to low concentrations of insecticides.doi:10.1002/etc.2749...
A recent Scientific American article that summarized the research on Bt corn noted, "The evidence overwhelmingly demonstrates that Bt toxins are some of the safest and most selective insecticides ever used. Claims that Bt crops poison people are simply not true." Indeed, the article argues that ...
Though many have been tested, only 1 product has been widely used in agriculture as a urease inhibitor. That product, N-butyl-thiophosphoric triamide, or NBPT, is a structural analog of urea and as such inhibits urease by blocking the active site of the enzyme. NBPT is the active ...
摘要: The recommended common name, and other non-proprietary names, the chemical name and chemical formula are given for 180 acaricides, bactericides, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, nematocides and rodenticides.-R.H.F.关键词:acaricides bactericides fungicides herbicides insecticides nematicides...
Several reports suggested that rice seedling nursery-box application of some systemic insecticides (neonicotinoids and fipronil) is the cause of the decline in dragonfly species noted since the 1990s in Japan. We conducted paddy mesocosm experiments to investigate the effect of the systemic insecticides...
Synthetic pesticides are key tools used in agriculture to increase crop yield and provide food for the world's ever-growing population. The environmental, social, and economic benefits of synthetic pesticides are well-known; however, the incorrect use of these products could lead to unintended detri...
One of the reasons attributed to the resurgence of bed bugs is the development of insecticide resistance in these insects making them difficult to control using currently available insecticides23,24. New insecticides with a novel mode of action are urgently needed. The studies included in this ...
But before we consider those in a little more detail, do remember toxic substances, such as insecticides and fertilizers, that are sprayed onto crops before harvesting and eating and chemicals administered to livestock before slaughter for meat. There is a vast array of chemicals in the armament ...
