Step 1
Pesticides are chemical compounds that are used to kill pests, including insects, rodents, fungi, and unwanted plants (weeds). Pesticides are used in public well-being to kill vectors of disease, such as mosquitoes, and in farming to kill pests that damage crops.
Types of Pesticide Ingredients
- insecticides.
- herbicides.
- rodenticides.
- fungicides.

Some farmers, especially those who grow produce at a smaller scale, use pesticides sparingly. For example, fruit trees are susceptible to disease in northeastern regions, especially at the blossom stage. An apple or peach grower may spray their fruit trees with a fungicide once in the spring to ensure that the fruit sets, but use no further chemicals for the rest of the season. For many large row crop farmers, on the other hand, regular pesticide use is as much a part of farming as planting seeds. Spraying Roundup on a field of corn genetically engineered to withstand the chemical kills! the weeds without affecting the corn. In comparison to mechanically weeding hundreds or thousands of acres, using pesticides is a game-changer.

Roundup is a weed-killing chemical that was produced by Monsanto, (recently purchased by Bayer). The farmer can directly spray Round-up on his fields and it will kill all the weeds, yet leave the soybean plants unharmed. One particular farmer noticed that after a few years of using Roundup weed killer, it became less effective, leaving more andynore weeds alive after spraying. Which of the following explanations, best describes why these weeds remained alive? After years of exposure to Roundup, the soybeans became more resistant to the weed killer. Roundup-resistant weeds were more likely to survive and reproduce than were non-resistant individuals. When Bayer bought out Monsanto, they started selling poor-quality Roundup. Roundup-resistant weeds have less-efficient photosynthetic pathways than the original form.arrow_forwardWith regard to industrial agriculture, it is distinct from traditional agriculture in that: Its development tends toward monocultures Its development tends toward polycultures Its development involves an equal blend of monocultures with polycultures It is less well integrated into market economies, producing less excess food to sellarrow_forward
