DDT spraying for malaria primarily targets disease-carrying mosquitoes in specific areas, often involving indoor residual spraying to reduce human exposure to malaria. In contrast, agricultural DDT spraying aims to control pests affecting crops over larger areas and usually involves different application methods and concentrations. While both uses involve DDT’s insecticidal properties, the focus in malaria control is on protecting human health, whereas agricultural use is centered on maximizing crop yield. Additionally, the regulatory frameworks and public health considerations differ significantly between the two applications.
