- 16:5616:56, 28 April 2024 diff hist −414 Insecticide →Contact insecticides: The list of examples is not useful. It more or less says that contact insecticides can belong to very many classes, which is true but not useful. The inorganic insecticides listed haven't been used in more than 50 years. Tag: Visual edit
- 16:5316:53, 28 April 2024 diff hist −640 Insecticide →Systemic insecticides: The plant incorporated protectant Bt Toxin, which is described again below, is not a good example. It is not taken up into the plant. I am not sure if it translocated, but I suspect not given the size. Tags: Reverted Visual edit

- 19:5319:53, 27 April 2024 diff hist −17 Insecticide repellent or non-repellent are not categories of insecticide. See comment on direct previous edit. Tag: Visual edit
- 19:5019:50, 27 April 2024 diff hist −614 Insecticide "Repellant" or "non-repellant" are not categories of insecticides. A chemical that repels an insect would be ineffective at killing it. The cited site is a commercial seller of home and garden insecticides. The non-repellant insecidides sold there are a marketing gag and not a scientific category. Tag: Visual edit

- 18:2518:25, 27 April 2024 diff hist −41 Pesticide →Monetary: use worldwide sales data instead of US data. Also a small tidying up of an existing sentence. Tag: Visual edit

- 14:1914:19, 9 February 2024 diff hist +168 Pesticide →Development of new pesticides: These two sentences could alternatively have been inserted into section "history", but they illustrate an ongoing trend so I put them here. Tag: Visual edit

- 13:2313:23, 2 February 2024 diff hist −549 Pesticide →History: The formation of the EPA is in section Registration. The purpose was not to reduce the amount used, but to regulate the use. Updated amounts used are given in the section "amounts used". Tag: Visual edit
- 13:2113:21, 2 February 2024 diff hist +1,065 Pesticide →History: Important trends in pesticide use added. Resistance, IPM, green revolution, GMOs, organic farming Tag: Visual edit
- 13:1213:12, 2 February 2024 diff hist −541 Pesticide →History: described above chronologically Tag: Visual edit
- 13:1113:11, 2 February 2024 diff hist −571 Pesticide →History: Did the deleted text mean WW2 instead of WW1? The use of DDT was a huge advantage to the allies and followed their advances. The book cited describes how foreign soldiers are propagandised during the wars as "pests" "insects" "cockroaches" etc to be exterminated. All interesting but not central to the overarching story. Tag: Visual edit
- 12:5712:57, 2 February 2024 diff hist −349 Pesticide →History: The sentences deleted describe the chemical industry in general. The pesticide industry is only of interest during and after WW2. Tag: Visual edit

- 12:5212:52, 2 February 2024 diff hist +1 Pesticide →History: Sentence moved from section History to section Regulation subsection USA Tag: Visual edit
- 12:4412:44, 2 February 2024 diff hist +101 Pesticide →History: The bit about DDT and other persistants is best done here instead of at the end of the section. The whole is thus more chronological. Tag: Visual edit
- 12:3112:31, 2 February 2024 diff hist −102 Pesticide →History: Shortened and names of particular pesticides not included. Although arguably the biggest selling classes could be mentioned, all in all there are so many that it is better to look at the applications (e.g. insecticide. herbicide, fungicide) Tag: Visual edit
- 12:0312:03, 2 February 2024 diff hist −246 Pesticide →History: Shortened the section on early pesticides. Replaced the references with more recent, more detailed and focussed citations. If anyone thinks this should be dealt with in more detail then please say so. I will add more topics in the section on history and cover them briefly. Tag: Visual edit
- 11:3311:33, 2 February 2024 diff hist −15 Pesticide →Health effects: The Bhopal disaster is not due to pesticide poisoning. The Bhopal catastrophe was caused by methyl isocyanate, which is a chemical, which was used in the manufacture of insecticides. It is a basic building block and not a pesticide. It is in a similar category to chlorine or phosgene, used in the past as war gases, but which are used all over the chemical industry. Tag: Visual edit

- 17:3017:30, 24 January 2024 diff hist −299 Pesticide →International: The use of biopesticides and alternatives are broadly covered under the respective sections in page "pesticide". They do not belong in such general terms in the "international regulation" section. Tag: Visual edit
- 17:2417:24, 24 January 2024 diff hist −857 Pesticide →International: The text refered to a possible means of combating nematodes and does not refer to international regulation. I moved the text to the page "nematode" Tag: Visual edit

- 17:1117:11, 24 January 2024 diff hist −131 Pesticide →Residue: The previous text had a reference to a study monitoring pesticides in grapes. It is not really research. Anyway this is replaced by the EPA monitoring, which is a much bigger and less specific, and thus more suitable to this overreaching page.. Tag: Visual edit
- 16:5116:51, 24 January 2024 diff hist +67 Pesticide →Residue: The correct term *maximum residue limits" rather than the synonymous "maximum allowable limit", with a link to MRL and a very brief explanation of what MRL means. Tag: Visual edit
- 16:4516:45, 24 January 2024 diff hist 0 Pesticide →Residue: This sentence, refering to an environmental issue, was moved from the section "pesticide residue", which refers to residues on food. Tag: Visual edit
- 16:3916:39, 24 January 2024 diff hist −543 Pesticide →Residue: The previous text implied that DDT etc are still being used. The updated text has details of the residues still to be found. Tag: Visual edit
