Classification of insecticides based on chemical nature, insecticides classified based on nature of inorganic insecticides, Organic insecticides, Synthetic organic insecticides, and Miscellaneous compounds
Pesticide application refers to the practical way in which pesticides, (including herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, or nematode control agents) are delivered to their biological targets (e.g. pest organism, crop or other plant).
Biological control (from the ecological viewpoint) is, “the action of parasites, predators, or pathogens in maintaining another organism's population density at a lower average than would occur in their absence.”

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
3. Are the chemical or biological
substances which are used to kill, deter,
change behaviour or impair sterility of
pests for the purpose of control or prevent
them from causing damage to the crops.
Pesticides
4. There are various kinds of pesticides on the
basis of their action against pests and
agents. They are:
i. Insecticides
ii. Fungicides
iii. Nematicides
iv. Rodenticides
v. Algicides
vi. Molluscicides
vii. Bio-pesticides
viii. Herbicides
ix. Bactericide
Types of Pesticides
5. Insecticides
• These pesticides are used to kill and control the
insect.
• For eg: Cypermethrin, Metasystox, etc.
Types of Pesticides
Fungicides
• These pesticides are used to control the fungal
growth.
• Around 90% of plant diseases are of fungal
origin.
• For eg: Karathene, Mancozeb, etc.
Nematicides
• These pesticides are used to control the
nematode.
• For eg: Dibromo chloro propane, Thionazin, etc.
6. Rodenticides
• These pesticides are used to control the
rodents like mice, rats, etc.
• For eg: Zinc phosphide, Warfarin, etc.
Types of Pesticides
Algicides
• These pesticides are used to control the algal
growth.
• For eg: Lime sulphur, Copper oxychloride, etc.
Molluscicides
• These pesticides are used to control the
molluscans like snails, slugs, etc.
• For eg: Metaldehyde, etc.
7. Bio-pesticides
• These are naturally occurring pesticides.
• For eg: Neemarin, Azadirachtin, etc.
Types of Pesticides
Herbicides
• These pesticides are used to kill the unwanted
growth of plants i.e. weeds.
• For eg: Atrazine, Simazine, 2,4-D, etc.
Bactericides
• These pesticides are used to control the
bacterial population.
• For eg: Streptomycin, Agrimycin, etc.
8. Formulation of pesticide is defined as the act of producing
pesticides in precise form.
Generally, the pesticides that appear in the purest form
are known as active ingredient (a.i.). They are usually coarse,
sticky solids and viscous liquid in appearance. But the purest
form of insecticides is not usually used to control pests. They
are either diluted or mixed with auxillaries to make them easy
to handle and safe to use. They are added with carriers,
diluents or surface active agents. Thus, the mixing of active
ingredient with the material in a predetermined form for the
purpose of pest control is known as pesticide formulation.
Formulation of Pesticide
10. A. Solid formulation
(a) Dust
• These are one of the formulation which are
mixed with dust carriers.
• They contain low % of active ingredient (a.i)
usually less than 10%.
• Size of particles generally ranges from 1 to 40
micron. Smaller the size of particles, higher
will be the toxicity.
• Dust formulated pesticides are used for seed
treatment and for small areas like home.
11. Advantages of Dust
• Can be directly used in plants.
• Very suitable for dry areas.
• Can be used in those areas where
there is water scarcity problem.
Disadvantage of Dust
• The dust particles are disturbed or
drifted by wind.
• Don’t adhere to the plant surface.
So, their efficiency will get reduced.
• least effective and uneconomical
than other formulation.
12. A. Solid formulation
(b) Granules
• Are similar to dust formulation.
• They differ from each other only by size of
particles.
• They are larger and heavier than that of dust
particles.
• Size ranges from 0.25 to 3mm in diameter.
• The active ingredient is mixed with coarse
material such as clay, corn cobs or walnut
shells. Due to their coarseness and large size,
they are not affected by air drift and released
slowly in soil.
13. Advantages of Granules
• Are slower releaser among
pesticides. So, the loss is reduced.
• Have no problem of drifting by wind.
• Have low water requirement for
being effective.
• Can be directly applied on plants.
• Protect young plants for the first
week of their life as they are slow
releaser.
Disadvantage of Granules
• Cost of production and manufacture
is very high.
• Granules can only be applied in root
zone. Foliage parts cannot be
treated with granules.
14. A. Liquid formulation
(a) Wettable Powders (WP or W)
• Are mixed with liquid esp. water in a specified
quantity.
• Generally not soluble in water but are mixed
with inert material along with wettable
product (helps to make fine suspension in
water).
• Settle down if left undisturbed. So need
frequent agitation.
• The % of active ingredient ranges from 5-90%
usually more than 50%.
• Example: Dithane M-45, Dithane Z-78, etc.
15. Advantages of WP
• Can be easily transported.
• don’t enter into skin directly if they
are in contact. So, are safe.
• More effective in foliar application.
• Efficiency is higher than dusts and
granules.
Disadvantage of WP
• Risk of concentrated powder
inhalation by applicator.
• Should be applied precisely. They
should be properly mixed with
precise amount of water otherwise
sinking of powder at the bottom of
spray becomes a major problem.
16. A. Liquid formulation
(b) Soluble Powders (SP or WSP)
• Are mixed with liquid esp. water in a specified
quantity.
• Are mixed with water along with wettable
agent before applying them just like wettable
powder.
• Differ from WP in the fact that SP doesn’t have
disadvantage of WP.
17. Advantages of SP or WSP
• Reliable to carry and mixing.
• Aren’t absorbed through skin.
• The problem of sinking doesn’t
occur. So they don’t require frequent
agitation.
Disadvantage of SP or WSP
• There is always the risk of powder
being inhaled by the user.
18. A. Liquid formulation
(c) Emulsifiable Concentrates (EC
or E)
• It is the formulations of mixture of active
ingredient, organic solvent and surfactants.
• They require water and emulsifying agent to
be effective.
• They are highly preferred over WP as they can
be easily handled and mixed with water.
• They require less agitation than WP.
• Example: Cypermethrin, malathion-50EC, etc.
19. Advantages of EC or E
• Relatively cheaper than other
formulation.
• Easy to transport from one place to
another.
• Have advantage of foliar application
than granular formulations.
Disadvantage of EC or E
• Great risk of such insecticides in skin
resulting skin allergies.
• Problem of chemical being blown
away at the time of spray.
• Tendency of over and under dose of
chemical.
• A person can have difficulties in
precise measurement of chemical
required.
20. A. Liquid formulation
(d) Fumigants
• Are the chemicals applied in a vapor
form.
• They contain active ingredients in the
form of liquid kept under high pressure
and converted to gas form at the time of
application.
• Widely used in structural pest control, in
the food and grain storage.
• Example: Zinc phosphide, Hydrogen
cyanide, etc.
21. Advantages of Fumigants
• Wide range of action.
• Highly toxic to the pests.
• Very effective as compared to other
pesticides.
• Required in small amount to kill a
large number of pests.
Disadvantage of Fumigants
• Highly spreading over a large area in
short time. So they can be applied
only in closed room or poly house
only.
• Highly toxic to human beings also.
22. The toxicity is the capacity to affect the living system. Living
system includes many things which might be plant, human (external as
well as internal organs). Toxins can be of biological origin or artificially
made.
Toxicity of Pesticides
23. • Shows the short term effect of
substance (toxins) from a
single or multiple exposure in
a short period of time.
• A pesticides with high acute
toxicity is harmful even deadly
at few dose of the toxin.
• Acute toxicity levels are used as
a way to assess and compare
how poisonous the pesticides
are.
Acute toxicity
Types of Toxicity
24. • Chronic toxicity is the result of
long term exposure to
pesticides.
• The effects of chronic toxicity
cannot be observed directly or
immediately after single or
multiple use of pesticide.
Chronic toxicity
Types of Toxicity
25. Safe use and Misuse of Pesticides
Following things should be kept in mind for the safe use and handling of
pesticides:
a. Choose the right pesticides at right time
• Correct pesticides helps better pest management and less toxic effect.
• Very high dose and very low dose is not recommended as it causes pest
resistance in longer time period.
b. Observe the label first
• Before buying label must be read first and the buyer must understand the
product label.
• Label gives the information of a.i., how to mix and apply the product, when
and where to apply the product, how to store and dispose the product, as
well as safety and environmental precautions and first aid instruction.
26. Safe use and Misuse of Pesticides
The below mentioned label signifies the toxicity level of insecticides:
Label Name Level of toxicity
Red label Extremely toxic
Yellow label Highly toxic
Blue label Moderately toxic
Green label Slightly toxic
27. Safe use and Misuse of Pesticides
c. Protective clothing and safety equipment
• Person using pesticide is most prone to
pesticide toxicity. So, proper clothing and safety
measures need to be followed.
• Use of rubber gloves, masks, clean clothes
covering whole body, waterproof hats and
boots, eye protection equipment, etc. are the
minimum protective requirement.
d. Mix pesticides safely
• Need to be mixed with accurate measurement.
• The utensils used should be clean and washed
after the use.
28. Safe use and Misuse of Pesticides
e. Apply pesticides safely
• Use the prescribe dose and right pesticide.
• Keep utensils need and clean.
• Keep children away from treated areas until
the spray has dried.
• Neat and clean clothing should be used.
f. Care and handling of personal
protection equipment
• Do not mix contaminated clothing with
other.
• If the clothes need to be used more than
once need to be washed properly.
29. Safe use and Misuse of Pesticides
g. Store pesticides safely
• Do not store the pesticides in open
vessel as it might get volatilize.
• Should not be kept closer to the food
and water source to protect
contamination.
• Should not be stored in places with
high humidity and heat.
• Also should be protected from
freezing.
