Pyrethroid insecticides

Abstract

Pyrethrins are a family of natural insecticides located in the flower head of Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium. Chemists have modified the original structures and extended their insecticidal properties to the benefit of mankind and under consideration of ecology and ethics in a transdisciplinary research endeavor that has covered almost a century. We expect that this review will allow teachers to produce material in their own language, in the format and at the level they judge most adequate for the message they want to transmit, and at the same time will allow students to access freely the same data and knowledge.
