520			_aPesticides used in rubber growing are hazardous having acute or chronic toxic effects on humans due to single or multiple exposures. Protective pesticides prevent establishmentof pests or pathogens while eradicants kill or inhibit such organisms that are already established on rubber. The most effective systemics are taken up by plants and directed to the targets enabling use of low doses. They interrupt sterols or nucleic acid killing the pathogen. Preventing users exposure to pesticides is important using protective wearing. Careful storage of pesticides is equally important to avoid accidental exposures by workers.
