Insecticides

Insecticide is a substance that kills insect. Insecticides are something called pesticides.

Farmers and gardeners usually use insecticides to protect plants and animals. Apple trees must be sprayed, or many apples will become 'wormy' with moth larvae (young) Many livestock owners spray their livestock or dip them in an insecticide solution to protect them from flies, lice, mites, and ticks. These pests spread such diseases as cattle fever and sheep scab. Diseases such a malaria and typhus can be controlled by using insecticides to treat the breeding places of the insects that spread the diseases.

Agricultural pesticides prevent monetary loss of about $9 billion each year in the U.S. For every $1invested in pesticides, the American farmer gets about $4 in return.

These benefits, however, must be weighed against the costs to society of using pesticides, as seen in the banning of ethylene dibromide in the early 1980's. These costs include human poisonings, fish deaths, honey bee poisonings, and the contamination of livestock products.

The environmental and social costs of pesticide use in the U.S. have been estimated to be at least $1 billion each year. Thus, although pesticides are valuable for agriculture, they also can cause serious harm.

What is the ratio of the cost and the benefit of the using of pesticides?

What is the advertisement about ?

Nowadays, many people realise that agriculture is much more important than other supporting tools in economic development. In Indonesia, agriculture should be

the priority of development for good reasons

First , the agriculture's contribution in the beginning for the development of the country was the highest of all sectors. At present, almost half the total of Indonesia labourers work in the agriculture sector, but the contribution of the agriculture sector does not reach 30 percent.

Second, the agriculture sector is expected to fulfil the need for the food in the country. As the population increases at an alarming rate each year, food supply must also increase but the agricultural production per capita never increases more than one per cent each year and in extreme cases, it is stagnant.

Last but not least, without agricultural development, the growth of the industrial sector will be hampered because the growth that comes from industry will create a wider gap to the internal economy in that country. In turn, this gap will create serious poverty problems, wider inequality of income distribution, and increased unemployment.

It is therefore, obvious that the government should make agriculture the priority of national development

What is the percentage of the contribution of the agricultural sector to the Indonesian economic development?
