What is the difference between first generation and second generation pesticides?

The "first generation" pesticides were largely highly toxic compounds, such as arsenic and hydrogen cyanide. Their use was largely abandoned because they were either too ineffective or too toxic. The "second generation" pesticides largely included synthetic organic compounds. ('Synthetic' here means made by humans -- not naturally occurring, while 'organic' means carbon containing, not to be confused with the popular use of "organic" as in "organic farming".)

What are basic strategies that can be followed in order to overcome the problems associated with use of pesticidec?

To overcome the problems associated with pesticide use, implement integrated pest management (IPM) strategies that combine biological, cultural, and mechanical controls with minimal pesticide application. Promote the use of organic or less toxic alternatives and encourage beneficial organisms that can naturally control pests. Regularly monitor pest populations and apply pesticides only when necessary, using targeted application methods to reduce environmental impact. Additionally, educating farmers and consumers about proper pesticide use and safety can further mitigate risks.
