Chemical Insect Control: A Troubled Pest Management Strategy
BioScience, 1977egy since these materials first appeared in the late 1940's (NAS 1975, Pimentel 1976). Insecticides, along with the other agricultural chemicals, new plant varieties, and mechanization, have substantially increased crop production (NAS 1975). USDA officials maintain that without them 70% of crops produced in the United States could not be successfully ...

Chemical Control of Pests and Vectors
1986Chemical poisons can be used in the control of pests and vectors. The term “poison” is very broad, referring to practically any chemical that can produce sickness or death if its concentration is high enough. Thus even nutrients can become poisons. For example, copper, which is highly toxic to all forms of plant life, is an essential element for plant ...
