Rotenone kills by inhibiting mitochondrial respiration in cells. It specifically targets Complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase) in the electron transport chain, disrupting ATP production and leading to cellular energy failure. This results in the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and ultimately triggers apoptosis or cell death. Rotenone is often used as a pesticide and has also been studied for its effects in research related to Parkinson's disease due to its neurotoxic properties.

This disruption can lead to oxidative stress and damage to cells throughout the body. Additionally, rotenone has been linked to neurotoxic effects and is a known pesticide that can be harmful if ingested or absorbed through the skin.
Does the use of the pesticide rotenone affect area bee populations?

That means that it is made from plant body parts. It therefore may be used as an organic control of insect pests.Nevertheless, some organic controls are somewhat controversial. Such is the case with rotenone. Rotenone is effective in controlling pesty populations of aphids, Colorado potato beetles, flea beetles, Mexican bean beetles, and weevils. But its efficacy comes at a cost. It actually is considered competitive with some non-organic pesticides in terms of environmental impact.
