Carbamate pesticides work similarly to organophosphate insecticides by inhibiting cholinesterase enzymes and affecting nerve impulse transmission. They are widely used for agriculture and in homes and gardens. The document then lists information on 12 different carbamate pesticides used in sugarcane and cotton crops, including their trade names, common names, target insects, and recommended dosages which range from 300 ml to 15 kg per acre depending on the specific pesticide and insect.
2. Carbamate pesticides are derived from
carbamic acid and kill insects in a
