- 15:2215:22, 15 May 2024 diff hist −355 Dibenzoylhydrazine The substance is not patented. The patent described the X-ray structure of the bemisia tabaci ecdysone receptor, from which the inventors claim one can design BAHs active against hemiptera. A claim which has not been reduced to practice in the last 20 years. Tag: Visual edit
- 15:1815:18, 15 May 2024 diff hist −274 Dibenzoylhydrazine The patent refers to some appropriately substituted dibenzoyl hydrazines, which are described in more detail below. There are very many patents in this area. Tag: Visual edit
- 14:5114:51, 15 May 2024 diff hist −55 Dibenzoylhydrazine "Benzoic acid amine" is not dibenzoylhydrazine,although it is not clear to me what would be understood by "benzoic acid amine" Tag: Visual edit
- 14:4714:47, 15 May 2024 diff hist −93 Dibenzoylhydrazine dibenzoylhydrazine is so distantly related to these compounds that it is probably misleading to make the connection. Tag: Visual edit

- 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

- 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

- 12:4412:44, 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
