    Dr. Yos Adi Prakoso gave a presentation on insecticides at a veterinary toxicology meeting. He defined insecticides as pesticides that kill, harm, or repel insects. Insecticides can disrupt the nervous system or damage exoskeletons and come in various forms like sprays, dusts, and gels. Over 98% of sprayed insecticides do not reach their target species and can harm non-target organisms, people, pets and the environment. Insecticides can cause both acute and chronic health effects in humans and animals. While insecticides are important for agriculture, improper use poses risks to health and the environment. Reducing exposure through training and community programs can help address these

    Insecticides
    • Insecticides are pesticides
    that are formulated to kill,
    harm, repel or mitigate one
    or more species of insect
    • Some insecticides disrupt
    the nervous system,
    whereas others may
    damage their exoskeletons,
    repel them or control them
    by some other means

    Forms of
    insecticides
    • They can also be packaged
    in various forms including
    sprays, dusts, gels, and
    baits
    • Because of these factors,
    each insecticide can pose a
    different level of risk to
    non-target insects, people,
    pets and the environment

    Conclusions

    • All insecticides harmful to humans, animals, other living organisms,


    and the environment if used incorrectly
    • Farm productivity is directly proportional to use of agrochemicals as
    observed from the first green revolution.
    • Improper and unsafe use of these agrochemicals, especially
    insecticides is not only harmful to environment but also human
    health
    • However the study has also found that there is ample scope for
    reducing insecticides exposure through training, agricultural
    extension and community mobilization etc
