“…Studies carried out by Suwalsky et al [114] in nerve cells of Caudiverbera caudiverbera demonstrated the toxicity of the herbicide 2,4-D. The authors observed a reduction in the dosedependent response to nerve stimulation in the simpact junction of the frog when they were exposed to this herbicide.…”

Herbicides and pesticides have been used to control, eliminate or destroy pests in order to protect human being's food. This technology could be economical and effective if the selection of herbicides and pesticides is based on its mode of action, chemical nature, method and time of application and nature of crop. They have been extensively studied for their toxic potential to biological systems. Herbicides and pesticides are gradually more water soluble, polar and heat stable, therefore it is difficult to reduce their lethalness and to fade away them from the atmosphere. They are highly selective, and found to be toxic to a number of people in industry, agriculture and public health work places. They have harmful effects directly or indirectly on soil, environment, surface and ground water natural flora and fauna, aquatic life which will ultimately adversely influence the human beings and livestock. So, likely impact of herbicides and pesticides on atmosphere and community health is of great significance regardless of their noticeable benefits. It is likely to reduce the selection of pest resistance by preventing the contact between pesticide which act in a particular way and the pest population and to subsequently apply pesticides from diverse classes of compounds having dissimilar modes of accomplishment. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is intended to protect the maximum likely risks to agriculture as well as environment by using cost-effective measures and pest management will prolong for improvements with the advent of new and improved technologies.

“…This is a rather long and tedious procedure and to accelerate it and eliminate compounds of little biological usefulness, different approaches to the problem can be applied. One of these is to use biological or model lipid membranes like erythrocytes, liposomes or planar lipid membranes, especially when the compounds, because of their structural lipophilicity, easily interact with the membranes and thus affect their toxicity (Suwalsky et al 1996(Suwalsky et al , 1999(Suwalsky et al , 2000. The aminophosphonates studied in this work belong to such lipophilic compounds and this was the reason why hemolysis of erythrocytes was chosen as a preliminary t echnique to check their potential biological activity.…”

“…Phenoxyacetic herbicide 2,4-D was chosen as a second binary mixtures component, since it is one of the most common and widely used biologically active compounds (Suwalsky et al 1996(Suwalsky et al , Öruç and Űner 1999(Suwalsky et al , 2000 and may cause toxic effects by inducing changes in cell membrane organization (Duchnowicz et al 2002, Duchnowicz and Koter 2003, Suwalsky et al 1999. Recently, we have studied its binary mixtures with a few other phenoxy and organophosphorous compounds, however, non of those produced a synergistic effect (Kleszczyńska et al 2003).…”

A series of cyclic and acyclic aminophosphonates was synthesized for agrochemical application. The compounds differed in the substituents at the carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus atoms. Their potential biological activity was checked by studying their hemolytic potency, since hemolysis of erythrocytes by various compounds was found earlier to be a good indicator of their pesticidal efficiency. A series of hemolytic experiments permitted us to check the pesticidal efficiency of aminophosphonates and to determine what structural features of aminophosphonates are responsible for it. Parallelly, we studied the hemolytic efficiency of binary mixtures of the aminophosphonates with the well-known herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D... The aim was to check if potential biological efficiencies could be enhanced in comparison with those found for individual components due to interactions between aminophosphonates and 2,4-D. An analysis of the effects binary mixtures was carried out by constructing graphs for both components of binary mixtures that give the same hemolysis (the isobole method).
