Larvicides New larvicides, such as microbial products or insect development inhibitors (IDI), are now available that are more environmentally friendly.

A lethal dose of the insecticide is absorbed by insects which come into contact with the surface.

Contrary to insecticides which target adult vectors, there are a number of new larvicides under development.

The Pesticides Board may also impose additional conditions for the registration of certain pesticides.

Americans spent, in 2001 11 percent of all pesticide use was done on lawns.

The Board has also gazetted the Pesticides (Highly Toxic Pesticides) Regulations 1996, with the objective of controlling the use of certain highly toxic pesticides, including paraquat.

7.3 Pesticide management issues

Unfortunately, this group of insecticides are also heavily relied on in agriculture, animal husbandry, space spraying, and for household pest control.

As it limits insecticide applications to conditions where they are critically needed, it helps extend the effective life expectancy of alternative insecticides.

This technology prevents the handling of insecticides at the peripheral (end use) level by non specialist. It reduces, by at least 5 times, the amount of insecticide needed to treat nets, as well as the amount released in the environment during washing.

The representative of the United States of America also tried to prevent the delivery of insecticide, despite a pressing need for it, because it had not been included in the distribution plan.

311. To achieve a reduction in the use of pesticides compulsory training courses for farmers and other users of pesticides have been established.

Some of the world apos s most toxic pesticides are reported to be amongst the most widely used insecticides in India, of which 55 per cent are applied to cotton.

The first way is that you use larvicides.

Insecticides (adulticides) There is no new insecticide available or in the pipeline that could be used for residual spraying, and none is expected for the foreseeable future unless urgent action is taken.

(d) The use of integrated weed control and pest management in agriculture and in the plantations will be promoted as a partial substitute for pesticides.

Next, more harmful chemicals are sprayed on fruits and vegetables, like pesticides and herbicides, to kill weeds and bugs.

These include, among others, Insecticide treated nets (ITNs), larvicides, and vector source reduction through environmental management.

2. As for the sale of paraquat (para. 62), all pesticides, including paraquat, are regulated under the Pesticides Act 1974.

Furthermore, the Department of Agriculture and other related agencies conduct training programmes to educate farmers and pesticide users on the safe and judicious use of pesticides.

The insecticide impregnation is done during the manufacture of the materials.

Well, basically, we dam it, we pollute it, we pour in pesticides, weedicides, fungicides.

Long lasting insecticide treatment technologies are also being used to produce specific insecticide treated materials for personal protection or vector control.

Implication of vector resistance to insecticides

Did you ever use any chemical sprays or insecticides?

Likewise, projects aimed at raising the awareness of the toxicological and ecotoxicological risks of pesticides and pointing out ways to reduce pesticide use have been put into place.

We can't keep feeding our kids pesticides and herbicides and antibiotics and hormones.

This could totally revamp the pesticide industries throughout the world.

The insecticide is applied to the indoor resting places of the vector.

These include stable and easy to use formulations of bacteria or slow release formulations of insect development inhibitors (IDIs), which may remain active for months at very low concentrations (in the range of parts per billion) in artificial breeding sites such as water tanks.

Currently, there is only 1 carbamate and less than 5 organophosphate insecticides available on the public health market for indoor residual spraying as alternatives to DDT and pyrethroids.

From 1998 to 2001, the importation of pesticides of light toxicity (grade IV) (from 64 to 70 ), presenting a lesser health risk, was increased, with a corresponding reduction in the imports of extremely toxic pesticides (from 5 to 3 ).

295. From 1990 1994, pesticides were found to be present in about 10 per cent of the groundwater samples tested and levels of pesticides in about 3 per cent of these samples exceeded the maximum limit residue for groundwater.

This lady, she developed a herbal pesticide formulation.

The appropriate role of residual insecticides for disease vector control

Insecticide treated nets (ITNs) and materials if properly implemented and used, ITNs are as effective as residual spraying in preventing malaria and can be deployed in various epidemiological settings.

This man, this lunatic farmer, doesn't use any pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified seeds.

The scope of IVM is comprehensive. It promotes the appropriate management of insecticides, including their judicious use and the effective handling of stocks.

The total value of ITNs and insecticide procured was 32 million, compared to 17.2 million the year before.

Currently an LLIN cost around US 4 US 5.

In the course of 2004, 1,518,905 was spent on the purchase of insecticides.

11. Calls upon the international community to support investment in the development of new anti malarial medicines and insecticides for the effective control of malaria in view of the challenging resistance of the parasite to anti malarial medicines and the resistance of mosquitoes to insecticides

Funny. We've got lots of insecticides today that don't hurt humans.
