A pesticide is any substance or mixture of substance intended for
preventing, destroying repelling or mitigating any pest. A pesticide may
be a chemical substance, biological agent antimicrobial disinfectant or
device used against any pest. Pests includes insects, plant pathogens
insects, molluscs, birds, mammals, fish nematodes and microbus that
destroy property, spread disease or are a vector for disease or cause a
nuisance. Although there are also drawbacks, such as potential to
humans and other animals. The term includes substances intended for
use as a plant growth regulator, defoliant, desiccant or agent for
thinning fruit or preventing the premature fall of fruit and substances
applied to crops either before or after harvest to protect the
commodity from deterioration during storage and transport.Their
excessive use has a deleterious effect on humans and the environment;
their presence in food is particularly dangerous. With their
environmental stability, ability to bio accumulate and toxicity,
pesticides may place the human body at greater risk of disease and
poisoning. Pesticides enter the environment in various forms (e.g.,
powders, moistened powders, powders for preparing aqueous
solutions, and concentrates for making up emulsions or sprays).

Pesticide use has increased 50 field since 1950 and 2.3 million tonnes of
pesticides are now used each year.

In 1960s it was discovered that DDT was preventing many fish eating
birds from reproducing, which was a serious threat to biodiversity. The
agricultural use of DDT is now leaned under the Stockholm convention,
but it is still used in some developing nations.

EFFECTS ON ENVIRONMENT
Pesticides have many advantages, but they also do much harm to the
environment. In view of both positive and negative effects of
pesticides; we should aim to achieve full selectivity of their action.
Nonetheless, the latest studies show that pesticides still constitute a
hazard to the environment and human health.
Each year, 140,000 tons of pesticides are sprayed onto crops in the
European Union (EU) alone. Fruit and vegetables are the crops most

CLASSIFICATION:-
Pesticides classified according to the pests they control. The
four main types of pesticides are
1.HERBICIDES
2.FUNGICIDES

C. Insecticides
Farmers use insecticides to protect their crops from
insect damage. In Urban areas public health officials use them
to fight mosquitoes and that insects carry germs. People use
insecticides indoor to control pests and ants and cockroaches.

D. Rodenticides
Colloquially “rat poison” are typically non-specific pest
control chemicals made and sold for the purpose of killing
rodents. Some rodenticides are lethal after one exposure
while others require more than one. Rodents are disinclined
to gorge on an unknown food (perhaps reflecting an adaptation
to their inability to vomit), Preferring wait and to sample,
observe whether it makes them or other rats sick. This
phenomenon of bait shyness or poison shyness is the rationale
for poisons that kill only after multiple doses.

campaigned for the safe use of pesticides but from
environment point of view no broad spectrum biocide can be
used.

Traditional insecticides such as pyrethrum or non persistent

chemicals such as carbonate sevin are now very widely used
and totally new types of pest control are useful in particular
cases. For example the autodial (sub destroying) techniques
makes use of sterilized males population. Large – scale rearing,
radiation sterilizing and release program are now major effects
of the US Department of agriculture and are highly effective in
restricted situations. Control of insects by synthetic growth
hormones is also effective in limited situations but is better
described as on active area of biological research than a general
alternative to pesticide use. The technique use extracts of
juvenile hormone or their synthesized mimics.

add one of the above residue from china dish to the fusion tube and
heat till red hot. Drop the hot fusion tube in china dish containing about
110ml of distilled water. Break the tube and boil the contents of the
china dish for about 5 minute to cool and filter solution. Collect the
filtrate.

6. To the filtrate add 1ml freshly prepared ferrous sulphate solution and
warm the contents. Then, add 2-3 drops of ferric chloride solution and
acidity with the dil. Hydrochloric acid if a blue or green precipitate or
coloration is obtained, it indicated the presence of nitrogen containing
insecticide.

7. Repeat the test of nitrogen for residue obtained from other fruits
and vegetable and record observation.
