Abstract

The widespread use of synthetic pyrethroids in agriculture has raised significant concerns regarding their impact on non-target insect populations. This study explores the toxicological effects of synthetic pyrethroids on non-target insects, emphasizing their Behavioral changes. Understanding these impacts is critical for biodiversity conservation and sustainable pest management practices.
