The act of crop dusting itself has not led to pesticide resistance. Mismanagement of pesticide application is the root cause of pesticide resistance.

Is a pesticide that influenced society by increasing crop yield but it also caused human and animal sickness.?

DDT (dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane) is a pesticide that significantly increased crop yields and helped control insect-borne diseases like malaria. However, its widespread use led to environmental contamination and serious health issues in humans and wildlife, including reproductive and developmental problems. The adverse effects prompted many countries to ban or restrict its use, highlighting the complex balance between agricultural productivity and public health.

What factor has most likely caused the rapid increase in the number of pesticide-resistant insect species over the past 30 years?

The rapid increase in pesticide-resistant insect species over the past 30 years is primarily due to the overuse and misuse of chemical pesticides. This has led to a selection pressure, where only the insects with genetic mutations that confer resistance survive and reproduce. Additionally, the reliance on single-mode action pesticides has accelerated the development of resistance, as insects adapt quickly to these chemicals. Finally, the lack of integrated pest management practices has further compounded the issue.
