  • What Is the Difference Between Pesticides, Insecticides and Herbicides? Pesticide Effects on Food Production
    What is the Difference Between Pesticides, Insecticides and Herbicides? Pesticides are chemicals that may be used to kill fungus, bacteria, insects, plant diseases, snails, slugs, or weeds among others. These chemicals can work by ingestion or by touch and death may occur immediately or over a long period of time. Insecticides are a type of pesticide that is used to specifically target and kill insects. Some insecticides include snail bait, ant killer, and wasp killer. Herbicides are used to kill undesirable plants or “weeds”. Some herbicides will kill all the plants they touch, while others are designed to target one species. Pesticide Effects on Food Production As the human population continues to grow, more and more crops are needed to meet this growing demand. This has increased the use of pesticides to increase crop yield per acre. For example, many farmers will plant a field with Soybeans and apply two doses of Roundup throughout the growing year to remove all other plants and prepare the field for next year’s crop. The Roundup is applied twice through the growing season to kill everything except the soybeans, which are modified to be pesticide resistant. After the soybeans are harvested, there is little vegetative cover on the field creating potential erosion issues for the reason that another crop can easily be planted. With this method, hundreds of gallons of chemicals are introduced into the environment every year. All these chemicals affect wildlife, insects, water quality and air quality. One greatly affected “good” insect are bees. Bees play a significant role in the pollination of the foods that we eat.

  • Historical Use of Lead Arsenate and Survey of Soil Residues in Former Apple Orchards in Virginia
    HISTORICAL USE OF LEAD ARSENATE AND SURVEY OF SOIL RESIDUES IN FORMER APPLE ORCHARDS IN VIRGINIA by Therese Nowak Schooley Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE IN LIFE SCIENCES in Entomology Michael J. Weaver, Chair Donald E. Mullins, Co-Chair Matthew J. Eick May 4, 2006 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: arsenic, lead, lead arsenate, orchards, soil residues, historical pesticides HISTORICAL USE OF LEAD ARSENATE AND SURVEY OF SOIL RESIDUES IN FORMER APPLE ORCHARDS IN VIRGINIA Therese Nowak Schooley Abstract Inorganic pesticides including natural chemicals such as arsenic, copper, lead, and sulfur have been used extensively to control pests in agriculture. Lead arsenate (PbHAsO4) was first used in apple orchards in the late 1890’s to combat the codling moth, Cydia pomonella (Linnaeus). The affordable and persistent pesticide was applied in ever increasing amounts for the next half century. The persistence in the environment in addition to the heavy applications during the early 1900’s may have led to many of the current and former orchards in this country being contaminated. In this study, soil samples were taken from several apple orchards across the state, ranging from Southwest to Northern Virginia and were analyzed for arsenic and lead. Based on naturally occurring background levels and standards set by other states, two orchards sampled in this study were found to have very high levels of arsenic and lead in the soil, Snead Farm and Mint Spring Recreational Park. Average arsenic levels at Mint Spring Recreational Park and Snead Farm were found to be 65.2 ppm and 107.6 ppm, respectively.

Twenty-spotted ladybeetles eat plant pathogenic fungi, which helps to reduce disease severity for many economically important crops. In this study, we applied a systemic insecticide to the roots of pumpkin plants and monitored to see if it would be detectable in the spores of a plant pathogenic fungus and whether the insecticide-tainted fungal spores would hurt the ladybeetle larvae. We were able to chemically detect the systemic insecticide in the fungal spores up to 21 days after the plants had been treated with the fungus.

  • Chlorpyrifos, Part 1: Toxicology
    JOURNAL OF PESTICIDE REFORM/ WINTER 1994 • VOL.14, NO. 4 ■ INSECTICIDE FACTSHEET CHLORPYRIFOS, PART 1: TOXICOLOGY The broad spectrum organophosphate insecticide chlorpyrifos is the most widely used insecticide in the U.S. Total use is estimated at almost 30 million pounds per year. Like all organophosphate insecticides, chlorpyrifos affects the nervous system by inhibiting an enzyme that is important in the transmission of nerve impulses. Symptoms of acute poisoning include headache, nausea, muscle twitching, and convulsions. Chlorpyrifos poisonings are reported to state and federal agencies more often than poisonings of almost every other insecticide. In both laboratory animals and humans, chlorpyrifos can also cause delayed effects on the nervous system. Some effects have been measured years after exposure. Human birth defects have been associated with exposure to chlorpyrifos products. In pregnant laboratory animals, chlorpyrifos exposure caused fetal death. Pups that did survive were smaller pups and did not survive as well as pups from unexposed mothers. Chlorpyrifos also affects the male reproductive system; exposure to a chlorpyrifos product has caused death of cells in male rat testes and a decrease in sperm production in cattle. Chlorpyrifos has caused genetic damage in human blood and lymph cells, mice spleen cells, and hamster bone marrow cells. Immune system abnormalities have been reported from patients exposed to chlorpyrifos. Many individuals report developing sensitivities to a broad array of substances following chlorpyrifos exposure. The second part of this factsheet will discuss human exposure to chlorpyrifos and the ecological effects of chlorpyrifos.

  • Organophosphate Insecticides
    CHAPTER 4 HIGHLIGHTS Organophosphate Insecticides Acts through phosphorylation of the acetylcholinesterase enzyme Since the removal of organochlorine insecticides from use, organophosphate at nerve endings insecticides have become the most widely used insecticides available today. More Absorbed by inhalation, than forty of them are currently registered for use and all run the risk of acute ingestion, and skin and subacute toxicity. Organophosphates are used in agriculture, in the home, penetration in gardens, and in veterinary practice. All apparently share a common mecha- Muscarinic, nicotinic & CNS nism of cholinesterase inhibition and can cause similar symptoms. Because they effects share this mechanism, exposure to the same organophosphate by multiple routes or to multiple organophosphates by multiple routes can lead to serious additive Signs and Symptoms: toxicity. It is important to understand, however, that there is a wide range of Headache, hypersecretion, toxicity in these agents and wide variation in cutaneous absorption, making muscle twitching, nausea, specific identification and management quite important. diarrhea Respiratory depression, seizures, loss of consciousness Toxicology Miosis is often a helpful Organophosphates poison insects and mammals primarily by phosphory- diagnostic sign lation of the acetylcholinesterase enzyme (AChE) at nerve endings. The result is a loss of available AChE so that the effector organ becomes overstimulated by Treatment: the excess acetylcholine (ACh, the impulse-transmitting substance) in the nerve Clear airway, improve tissue ending. The enzyme is critical to normal control of nerve impulse transmission oxygenation from nerve fibers to smooth and skeletal muscle cells, glandular cells, and Administer atropine sulfate autonomic ganglia, as well as within the central nervous system (CNS).

  • The Facts About Systemic Insecticides and Their Impact on the Environment and Bee Pollinators
    The Facts About Systemic Insecticides and Their Impact on the Environment and Bee Pollinators By Richard S. Cowles Ph.D. Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station Is imidacloprid safe to use for controlling insect pests feeding these large trees. Sadly, these trees were only treated once (in on urban trees?

  • Methiocarb (132)
    531 METHIOCARB (132) EXPLANATION Methiocarb, or mercaptodimethur, an insecticide, acaricide, molluscicide, and bird repellent was identified by the 1995 CCPR as a candidate for periodic review (ALINORM 95/24A, Annex 1). It was scheduled for toxicological and residue reviews by the 1998 and 1999 JMPR respectively (ALINORM 97/24A, Appendix III). The most recent extensive reviews of methiocarb residue chemistry were in 1981 and 1983. The manufacturer is Bayer AG.
