| description | Organochlorine pesticides, due to low cost and high efficiency, are essential for the control of pests in developing countries like Nigeria. The rate of degradation of organochlorines is probably higher in the tropics than in the temperate zones, a possibility not considered by authorities such as WHO and FAO, which recommend very limited use of such pesticides. On the other hand, the erroneous and unsafe use of pesticides in such areas is very common. Control measures, including regulation and field research conducted over time, are needed. |
