INSECTICIDES
Insecticides are chemical substances formulated to control or eliminate insect, pests that pose threats to plants.
Functionally, insecticides work by targeting the nervous system, growth regulators, or metabolic processes of insects, ultimately leading to their paralysis, death, or reproductive disruption.
There are various types of insecticides with different modes of action and target pests, including Contact insecticides that kill insects upon direct contact, Systemic insecticides that are absorbed by plants and ingested by insects feeding on them, and stomach poisons that are ingested by insects, causing internal damage.
Proper selection and application of insecticides are crucial to effectively control pest populations while minimizing risks to beneficial organisms, environmental impact, and human health. Integrated pest management strategies, combining cultural, biological, and chemical control methods, are often recommended for sustainable pest management practices.
