Use of Biological Tests for Evaluation of Pesticides
نویسنده
چکیده
Biological tests are necessary for studying the toxicity and biochemical effects of pesticides to individual species in the animal and plant kingdoms as well as for indirect determination of biologically important physical and chemical properties of pesticides. Some of the more important requisites for meaningful application of biological tests are careful method standardization; use of sensitive sub-lethal indicators of toxicity; detailed knowledge of the life cycle and the environmental requirements of organisms; and proper interpretation and limitation of use of the data engendered.
