Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -These insecticides break down quickly and do not build up in the environment. Organophosphate pesticides (such as diazinon) and carbamate pesticides (such as carbaryl) are the two major types of cholinesterase-inhibiting pesticides. Organophosphate pesticides are the most widely used insecticides available today.
Detailed explanation-2: -Subsequent uses of the pesticide increase the proportion of less-susceptible individuals in the population. Through this process of selection, the population gradually develops resistance to the pesticide. Worldwide, more than 500 species of insects, mites, and spiders have developed some level of pesticide resistance.
