  1. A DEVELOPING USER-ORIENTED DATABASE FOR PESTICIDES Fengyou Jia1,2, Sonny Ramaswamy Gamage Dissanayake3 jia@ksu.edu 1Department of Entomology, Kansas State University 2Department of Computing and Information Sciences, KSU 3Department of Communications – IET, Kansas State University Manhattan, KS 66506, USA

  2. As You Know: Pesticide application is one of the important practices in agricultural production.

  3. Pesticide Usage In Kansas State, USA 6,136 Pests (insects, weeds, and plant diseases, …) in Kansas by 10/30/03 15,283 Pesticides (Products) registered in Kansas by 10/30/03. Source: http://nspirs.ceris.purdue.edu/htbin/PRLIST.COM

  4. Pesticide Usage In Kansas (USA) • On average, it costs a farmer $10,000 annually in pest control in Kansas • 34,979 Farmers (Full time) in Kansas by 1997 • Multi-million dollars spent annually in pest control in Kansas • Growing business?

  5. Paradox in plant protection • Applying pesticides, people can survive better from current pest stresses, but, at the unfortunate cost of • Deteriorating the environment we live Human may achieve a better quality living in sacrificing their descendant life

  6. Why should we care about Environment? Critical point Number of poaple are deaf of heat waves Extreme temperature Time 50 Years? 100 Years? 1000 Years? Current Future

  7. Advantages and disadvantages • Benefits …… • Problems • Is toxic to humans and domesticated animals • Kill non-targeted organisms • Disrupt eco-systems • Pollute the environment • ……

  10. To reduce and mitigate the negative influence of pesticides • Cultural practices • Biological controls • Genetic modified crops • …… • One easy way is to select relative safe pesticides in pest control

  11. Lack of sophisticate tools To support the pesticides selection in pest management programs A query: Suppose a user intends to control ants around his house. Considering safety, the user prefers the pesticide products that have low toxicity to humans and animals because the applied sites are so close to the house-member and domesticated animals. The user may be an environmental conservator and expects the desired pesticide products having low toxicity to birds and other small invertebrates. Additionally, the user may expect the pesticides have a short persistent period in the soil.

  12. Research Objective To design a user-oriented pesticide safety consultant system (tool) in guidance of pesticide selection and application in pest management program. Ultimately, we expect this consultant system would assist to reduce or minimize the use of certain pesticides that commit high hazardous potentials to humans, domestic animals, ecosystems, and the environment.

  13. Potential Users Farmers Growers Extension Professions Government Agencies (e. g., EPA) Universities Private Consultants

  14. Rationality(Fundamental basis to support our objective) Pesticides vary not only with target pests but with hazardous potentials to humans, ecosystems, and the environment as well.

  15. Relative toxicity of pesticide to humans Pesticide Trade Name Acute Oral (Common name) LD50 Rats (mg/kg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aldicarb Temik 1 Trichlorfon Dylox 150 Methoxychlor Marlate 6000

  16. DT50 (Time required for 50% dissipation of the initial concentration of pesticide following application) Pesticide Trade Name DT50 (Common name) (in soil) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Validamycin * <=5 hrs Oxadixyl * 2-3 months Fenarimol * >1 year

  17. PLP  (Pesticide Leach Potential) Pesticide Trade Name PLP(Common name) (index) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Mepiquat Pix 1 Daminozide Alar 50 Dalapon Dowpon 87
