“…Exposure to pesticides adversely affects the human population, directly or indirectly. For example, pesticides containing Malathion and Trichlorfon have been reported to cause reproductive complications in humans [29]. Exposure to some pesticides have also been reported to retard growth, induce chemical and structural changes in body organs as well as disturb immune responses.…”

Biopesticides are derivatives of plants, microorganisms and insects. Substances from plants and animals have been used to manage diseases in crops, animals and humans. Reliance on nature to heal nature is a practise for many people around the world. Use of natural products was overtaken by synthetic chemicals due to their efficacy, reliability and quick knock down effect. However, synthetic pesticides have become a health hazards for humans and environment due to their toxicity and pollution. Biopesticides are potential alternatives to synthetic pesticides. Sources of biopesticides are readily available, easily biodegradable, exhibit various modes of action, are less expensive and have low toxicity to humans and non-target organisms. Neem, pyrethrum, cotton and tobacco are known sources of botanical pesticides and have already been commercialized. Other sources of botanical pesticides include garlic, euphorbia, citrus, pepper among others. Species of Trichoderma, Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Beauveria have been commercialized as microbial pesticides. Biopesticides are however faced with challenges of formulation, registration, commercialization, acceptance and adoption. This paper describes several aspects of biopesticide development, including but not limited to, their sources, production, formulation, commercialization, efficacy and role in sustainable agriculture.

Molecularly Imprinted Polymers for the Detection of Chlorpyrifos (an Organophosphate Pesticide)

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Chlorpyrifos belongs to an organophosphate pesticides group that is frequently used to increase the yield of crops by controlling plant and pests-related diseases. Chlorpyrifos contaminates the environment and cause diseases to the human population. Molecularly imprinting technology lead to the development of molecularly imprinted polymers having templated oriented cavities with high selectivity, sensitivity, stability, and portability. Our review article aims to provide a collective study related to pesticides detection through molecularly imprinted polymers with existed constraints and necessary potential facets are discussed.

“…Organophosphates pesticides (OPPs) form the large groups of chemicals being used over the past 80 years for protecting crops, livestock, human health from pests and as warfare agents. Organophosphates (OPs) are chemical substances originally produced by the reaction of alcohols and phosphoric acid (1). On the basis of structural characteristics they are divided into 13 types or more such as phosphates, phosphonates, phosphinates, phosphorothioates, phosphonothioates, phosphorodithioates, phosphorotrithioates, phosphoramidothioates (6).…”

Organophosphate pesticides (also known OPPs) have for many years been the choice candidate globally for pest control. OPPs have for over 80 years, been used in gardens, fields and greenhouses as crop protection agents, and even in homes as insecticides and mosquito abatement. Thus, year after year and with the repeated application of organophosphate agents, many problems have appeared as a result of excessive use of pesticides. The adverse effects of pesticides are well documented in human health, environment, pesticide residue in crops, soil and water contaminated by these pesticides. Therefore, it is necessary to shed more light on the risks associated with the irresponsible usage of organophosphate pesticides.
