Integrated Malaria Vector Management Policy‚ developed by the NMCP in coordination with all key stakeholders places considerable emphasis on four primary intervention areas (environmental management‚ adulticiding and larviciding‚ biological control‚ and insecticide-treated materials). These interventions may be used singly or in combination‚ depending upon the epidemiological setting. THE INTEGRATED MALARIA VECTOR CONTROL POLICY OBJECTIVES OF THE POLICY Goals and Targets The

The most common pesticide made from garlic is garlic spray‚ which controls a variety of organisms including termites‚ ants‚ caterpillars and slugs. The plants will only need to be sprayed once a week because of the long-lasting taste of garlic

using methods of genetic engineering. These techniques can allow our food to be modified. This then allows us to make our crops resistant to pests and disease‚ which benefits farmers‚ so they don’t have to spend excessive amounts of money on insecticides‚ it also enables the foods to have the capability to adapt to any environmental conditions‚ improve the flavour of the foods‚ increase the food’s shelf life‚ making our food last longer at home and delay the food’s ripening.

We will also be examining in depth the two most widespread types of transgenic organisms: herbicide-tolerant crops and insecticide-producing plants.

and water by doing so. At a rate of more than 500 new chemicals per year‚ of which 200 from the1940 ’s to the 1960 ’s were pesticides‚ the public market is flooded with more pesticides than it knows what to do with. More often than not‚ each new insecticide just happens to be a little stronger than the last‚ defeating the purpose‚ and killing off the good insects as well as the bad (Carson par. 5 - 7).

You may have been seeing reports about them in the news or online‚ but bed bugs are making a huge comeback.

Environmental effects of pesticides Use of pesticides can have unintended effects on the environment. Over 98% of sprayed insecticides and 95% of herbicides reach a destination other than their target species‚ including nontarget species‚ air‚ water‚ bottom sediments‚ and food.[1] Pesticide contaminates land and water when it escapes from production sites and storage tanks‚ when it runs off from fields‚ when it is discarded‚ when it is sprayed aerially‚ and when it is sprayed into water to
