Insecticide groups
imidacloprid
Is a systemic and contact insecticide with primary activity on piercing-sucking insects like aphids, leafhoppers, thrips, ad whiteflies o Is also effective against termites, turf insects, soil insects and some beetle species o Its mode of action is quite different from most other conventional insecticides o It has potential for managing insects that have become insecticide-resistant o This new insecticide has relatively low mammalian toxicity and generally good environmental characteristics. o Upsets the central nervous system by causing irreversible blockage of postsynaptic nicotinergic acetylcholine receptors.
Malathion
Is most widely used aliphatic o One of the safest and most effective of all OPs. o Has been used for all types of agricultural purposes o Is effective against many insects o Is safe for home use, including most garden and household pests o Doesn't harm pets when used according to directions o Is commonly prescribed by physicians for head, body, and crab louse problems o Is formulated as powders or dips for flea control on pets and manage mites on livestock o Ultra low volume (ULV) sprays (applying find particles) have been found effective and economical for management of such insects as grasshoppers on rangeland.
carbofuran
Is plant systemic has been widely used as a soil insecticide for suppression of nematodes, corn rootworm, and other soil pests. o Is highly toxic to humans and should be handled carefully. o Has become increasingly ineffective when used continuously in the same soil (enhanced biodegradation). • •Biodegradation is seemingly caused by increases in microorganisms capable of quickly degrading the compound after application. • •When used for soil insects, __________________ should be rotated with a soil insecticide of another class like an organophosphate.
carbaryl
Is the oldest of the effective carbamates, introduced in 1956. o Has low toxicity to humans. o Is a common insecticide for use in home lawns and gardens o Its greatest usage is probably in fruit production, where it both kills insects and serves as a fruit- thinning agent.
