Based on the literature exploration of the insects based on structural characteristics are

organophosphate poisoning, it is certain that groups, phosphonates, phosphates,
organophosphates can cause two effects, either a phosphorothiates, phosphonotiates,
positive effect or a negative effect. The first effect phosphorodithioates, phosphorotrithioates,
is to increase the cultivation of food demand, but phosphoroamidothioates. The components
the latter effect is dangerous if used incorrectly. contained in organophosphates are esters,
The latter effect is related to the mechanism by amides, or thiol phosphonic acid derivatives
which organophosphates can irreversibly inhibit (Ghorab and Khalil, 2015; Kamanyire and
