Insecticides are widely used in agriculture for pest control. Insecticides are a major factor for increasing agricultural productivity. However, almost all insecticides can potentially affect the environment, and many of them are toxic to mammals including humans. Neonicotinoids (neonics) are a new type...
Worldwide losses caused by insect pests are estimated at $30 billion in agriculture alone. For this reason, total insecticide production is increasing. At the same time, the world production of inorganic insecticides, such as arsenic and fluorine compounds, is decreasing because of their high toxic...
