WHAT DOES CONTACT INSECTICIDE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

contact insecticide

Insecticide

An insecticide is a substance used to kill insects. They include ovicides and larvicides used against insect eggs and larvae, respectively. Insecticides are used in agriculture, medicine, industry and by consumers. Insecticides are claimed to be a major factor behind the increase in agricultural 20th century's productivity. Nearly all insecticides have the potential to significantly alter ecosystems; many are toxic to humans; some concentrate along the food chain. Insecticides can be classified in different ways: ▪ Systemic insecticides are incorporated by treated plants. Insects ingest the insecticide while feeding on the plants. ▪ Contact insecticides are toxic to insects when brought into direct contact. Efficacy is often related to the quality of pesticide application, with small droplets often improving performance. ▪ Natural insecticides, such as nicotine, pyrethrum and neem extracts are made by plants as defenses against insects. Nicotine-based insecticides are widely used in the US and Canada, but are barred in the European Union. ▪ Plant-incorporated protectants are systemic insecticides produced by transgenic plants.
