What else can I help you with?
Which of the following would be the most helpful in solving synthetic pesticides?
Use natural, organic herbicides and pesticides instead of synthetic versions.
What are pesticides made from?
Pesticides can be made from synthetic chemicals, natural products, or a combination of both. Common synthetic pesticides are derived from chemicals like organophosphates, carbamates, and pyrethroids, while natural pesticides can be sourced from plants (e.g., neem oil) or microbes (e.g., Bacillus thuringiensis).
Do natural or synthetic pesticides last longer?
Synthetic pesticides generally last longer than natural pesticides because they are designed to be more persistent. Natural pesticides, derived from plants or minerals, often break down more quickly due to their organic nature and are considered more environmentally friendly.
What chemicals are in organic pesticides?
No synthetic chemicals are used in organic gardening/farming.
When were organic foods first made?
Growing food organically (without using synthetic fertilizers and pesticides) is the way foods were grown from the beginning of time until synthetic pesticides and fertilizers were created, and growing organically is still being done today.
How are organic products grown?
Organic products are grown without using synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
Are EcoSMART pesticides as effective as conventional synthetic pesticides?
Some of the aerosols are actually superior. For a residual product, I think I would still go "old school" with the real thing.
Who was the US ecologist opposed to the use of synthetic chemical pesticides?
(Rachel) Carson Rachel Louise Carson
How do you grow organic vegetables?
Organic simply means grown without using pesticides or synthetic fertilisers.
Why should people buy organic foods to save the planet?
Organic foods are non-GMO. They are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides. They do not contain additives or preservatives that are non-organic and may be carcinogens or otherwise unhealthy. Since pesticides are not used, organically grown food does not cause the harm to the environment and soil that foods produced using synthetic pesticides possibly do.
What are the synthetic pesticides?
There are probably a number, but generically, they are those pesticides made in a factory out of simple ingredients (eg DDT - dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) rather than those that are extracted from living things (eg Pyrethrum)
When where pesticides first used?
Pesticides were first used in ancient civilizations, with early civilizations like the Sumerians and Egyptians making use of chemicals like sulfur and arsenic. The widespread use of synthetic pesticides began in the 20th century with the development of organochlorines and organophosphates.
