Pyrethrum flowers and pyrethroid insecticides.
نویسنده
چکیده
The natural pyrethrins from the daisy-like flower, Tanacetum or Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium, are nonpersistent insecticides of low toxicity to mammals. Synthetic analogs or pyrethroids, evolved from the natural compounds by successive isosteric modifications, are more potent and stable and are the newest important class of crop protection chemicals. They retain many of the favorable properties of the pyrethrins.

A Confirmatory Method for the Determination of Synthetic Pyrethroids in Wastewater
Synthetic pyrethroids are synthesized derivatives of naturally occurring pyrethrins, which are taken from pyrethrum, the resin extract of dried chrysanthemum flowers. They were introduced to provide a less hazardous and less persistent alternative to organochlorine and organophosphate insecticides. They are among the safest insecticides available on the basis of their low acute toxicity to mamm...
متن کاملHealth and Insecticides
Pyrethroids are synthetic chemicals similar to pyrethrins in the pyrethrum extract which is obtained from Chrysanthemum plant. Historically, pyrethroids have been classified into two classes that differ in their chemical structure and symptoms of exposure: Type I pyrethroids include allethrin, tetramethrin, d-phenothrin, permethrin, and bioresmethrin. Type II pyrethroids include cypermethrin, c...

New promising insect control efforts are now being evaluated such as biological alternatives or even transgenic insects and Wolbachia based strategies. Although it is increasingly clear that successful approaches must involve integrated actions, chemical insecticides unfortunately still play a central role in pest and vector control (Raghavendra et al., 2011). Development of new safe and effect...
متن کاملReduced efficacy of pyrethroid space sprays for dengue control in an area of Martinique with pyrethroid resistance.
In the Caribbean, insecticide resistance is widely developed in Aedes aegypti and represents a serious obstacle for dengue vector control. The efficacy of pyrethroid and organophosphate ultra-low volume space sprays was investigated in Martinique where Ae. aegypti has been shown to be resistant to conventional insecticides. In the laboratory, a wild-field caught population showed high levels of...

Pyrethrum is the natural extract that occurs in the flowers of Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium and Chrysanthemum cineum. Pyrethrum has long been recognized as possessing insecticidal properties; over the years, first the chemical extracts of pyrethrum, and then more recently, the specific synthetic chemical analogs have been produced. The six active insecticidal compounds of pyrethrum are called...
