ANTICHOLINESTERASE COMPOUNDS AND THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
The pesticide groups Organophoshates and Carbamates inhibit the enzyme Cholinesterase thus interfering with the normal function of the nervous system. Insects, fish, birds, humans and any other animals that have Cholinesterase can be poisoned. To understand how the chemicals affect the body, we need to know how the nervous system works. (See att...		View PDF
CHARACTERISTICS OF WEEDS
Weed species do have one common characteristic: the ability to persist in the face of repeated habitat disturbance and periodic and near total destruction of above ground biomass. They tend to be competitive and adaptable and to multiply readily and spread easily. Characteristics: High output of seeds in favourable conditions. At least some output ...		View PDF
