The 39 pages that link to Pesticide, each with the reason it gives.

• Green RevolutionRelated: Chemical pest control helped protect the larger harvests sought through intensive farming.

• Organic farmingRelated: Organic farming restricts many synthetic pesticides but may permit approved pesticides, including some synthetic substances.

• InsectivoryCompared with: Chemical pest control can complement insectivory but may also poison insect-eating wildlife.

• Pest controlBroader topic: Pesticides are one tool within pest control, not a synonym for the whole practice.

• Agricultural pestNarrower topic: Pesticides are a major tool for controlling agricultural pests, though they can have side effects.

• Silent SpringNarrower topic: The book challenged the postwar expansion of chemical pest control.

• Insect declineRelated: Some insecticides harm non-target insects through direct exposure or contamination of food and habitat.

• InsecticideNarrower topic: Insecticides are one target-specific class within the broader pesticide category.

• Industrial agricultureRelated: Chemical pest control protects uniform crops but can affect non-target organisms.

• Pollinator gardenCompared with: Some pesticide uses expose pollinators to harmful chemicals through flowers, dust, or residues.

• Green Revolution in IndiaRelated: Chemical pest control helped protect the larger harvests produced by intensified farming.

• PhytochemistryRelated: Some plant compounds inspire or serve as botanical pest-control agents.

• RodenticideNarrower topic: Rodenticides are the pesticide class aimed specifically at rodents.

• Vegetable (food)Related: Pesticides are used on some vegetable crops to manage insects, weeds, and diseases.

• Plant growth regulatorCompared with: Pesticides target pests; plant growth regulators target plant growth or development, though regulation may overlap.

• LawnRelated: Chemical lawn treatments can expose non-target organisms and nearby waterways.

• Conventional agricultureRelated: Conventional farms may use pesticides to limit crop losses from weeds, insects, and disease.

• Butterfly gardeningRelated: Insecticides can kill caterpillars and adult butterflies, undermining the garden's purpose.

• Butterfly migrationRelated: Pesticide exposure can reduce host plants and directly harm migrating butterflies.

• Cotton productionNarrower topic: Cotton pest management has involved substantial pesticide use and associated exposure risks.

• Agricultural chemistryRelated: Pesticide chemistry raises questions about efficacy, persistence, and environmental exposure.

• ChlorobenzeneRelated: Chlorobenzene has served as a starting material in the manufacture of some pesticides.

• Gossypium hirsutumRelated: Cotton pest management has made pesticide use a persistent concern in growing regions.

• MethylamineRelated: Methylamine is used to manufacture some pesticide compounds.

• Arsenic pentoxideNarrower topic: Arsenic pentoxide’s historical uses belong to the wider history of toxic arsenic pesticides.

• DimethylamineNarrower topic: Dimethylamine is a building block for some herbicides and other agrochemicals.

• EthylamineNarrower topic: Ethylamine is used as a building block in the manufacture of some pesticides.

• HaloalkaneRelated: Some persistent organohalogen compounds have been used as pesticides and raised environmental concerns.

• Ground beetleCompared with: Unlike chemical control, predation by carabids can suppress pests without applying a pesticide.

• Intensive farmingRelated: Pest control protects the high-value, dense crops common in intensive production.

• Methyl isocyanateNarrower topic: Pesticide production is a major industrial use of methyl isocyanate.

• GyrfalconNarrower topic: Persistent pesticides have exposed gyrfalcons to contaminants carried through Arctic food webs.

• HalocarbonRelated: Several persistent halocarbon compounds were developed or used as pesticides.

• Masanobu FukuokaCompared with: Fukuoka argued that natural checks could make routine chemical pest control unnecessary.

• Organochlorine chemistryRelated: Several historically important pesticides are chlorinated organic compounds.

• Red-billed queleaRelated: Chemical control of queleas depends on pesticides and carries risks beyond target birds.

• AgrochemicalBroader topic: Pesticides are agrochemicals aimed at organisms that damage crops or stored products.

• Annona squamosaNarrower topic: Seed extracts have been studied for insecticidal activity, though practical use requires safety assessment.

• StrigidaeRelated: Some pesticides affect strigids directly or reduce their prey populations.
