Abstract:
Effective pest management is one of the potential methods to boost crop output because pest infestations account for more than 45% of the annual loss in food production. In order to combat pests and diseases spread by vectors, a wide range of pesticides must be applied to crop plants. Currently, India is the largest producer of pesticides in Asia and ranks twelfth in the world for the use of pesticides. Numerous factors, including chemical classes, functional groups, modes of action, and toxicity, can be used to categories pesticides. Insecticides stand out because they are made to be poisonous to the organisms they are intended to kill. They may be hazardous to non-target creatures, such as fish, because many of their targets are substantially conserved across many taxa. The majority of insecticides used worldwide now are neonicotinoid pesticides, which make up 26% of the insecticide marketed globally. Neonicotinoid insecticides have historically been seen as the best alternatives to some insecticides (such as organophosphates and carbamates), in part because they were thought to have little environmental or non-target organism danger. They are nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonists, which bind tightly to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the central nervous systems of insects. At low concentrations, they stimulate the nervous system; at higher concentrations, they block the receptors, cause paralysis, and cause death. Neonicotinoids are specifically more harmful to insects because they bind to insect nAChRs more strongly than they do to vertebrate nAChRs.
