40
Q

Biologically active carbamates originated with the used of Calabar beans, the seed of Physostigma venenosum (Balfour) as an ordeal poison in West African witchcraft trials.

A

Carbamate Insecticide

41
Q

is the seed of a leguminous plant, Physostigma venenosum, a native of tropical Africa, poisonous to humans.

A

Calabar bean

42
Q

• are a group of chemicals composed of carbon, chlorine, and hydrogen. As pesticides, they are also referred to by several other names, including organochlorines, chlorinated insecticides, and chlorinated synthetics.

A

Chlorinated Hydrocarbons

43
Q
  • synthetic analogs and derivatives of the original pyrethrins
A

Pyrethroids

44
Q
  • collective term for pyrethrum extracts, “Purified pyrethrums”
A

Pyrethrins

45
Q

-refers to dried and powdered heads of a white- flowered daisy-like plant of Chrysanthemum genus (C. cinerariaefolium , C. cineum)

A

Pyrethrum

46
Q

are similar to the natural insecticide, nicotine ?Act on the central nervous system of insects with very low toxicity to mammals and minimal environmental impact and therefore, considered a reduced-risk pesticide.

A

Neonicotinoids

47
Q

Single cell organism, such as bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and viruses, have been mass produced and formulated for use in a manner similar to insecticides.

A

Microbial Insecticides

48
Q
  • cancel the effect of juvenile hormone by blocking juvenile hormone production.
A

Anti-juvenile hormone agents

49
Q

-Work by preventing the formation of chitin, a carbohydrate needed to form the insect’s exoskeleton.

A

Chitin Synthesis Inhibitor

50
Q
  • mimic the effects of naturally occurring juvenile hormone. If levels of JH or mimics of JH remain high, every molt results in insects emerging as juveniles. If you prevent insect from becoming adults, there can be no reproduction.
A

JUVENILE HORMONE AGONISTS

51
Q
  • mimic ecdysone and force insects to molt prematurely which typically results in stoppage of feeding and ultimately in insect death.
A

ECDYSONE AGONISTS

52
Q
  • inhibit the effects of ecdysone.
A

ECDYSONE ANTAGONISTS

53
Q
  • The effects of these compound on insects varies but the effects can be grouped into two broad categories: inhibition of chitin synthesis or interference with the organization of exoskeletons.
