WS Task 1
Classify the types of pesticides and pests.
* Classify – arrange or order by class or category.

7.

Pesticides
Pesticides are substances that are meant to control pests.
This includes herbicide, insecticide, rodenticide, bactericide fungicide, and etc.
The most common of these are herbicides which account for approximately 80%
of all pesticide use.

8.

Pesticides
Pesticides can also be considered as:
• Biodegradable: The biodegradable kind is those which can be broken down by
microbes and other living beings into harmless compounds.
• Persistent: While the persistent ones are those which may take months or
years to break down.

9.

WS Task 2
Outline the benefits of using pesticides
* Outline – give a brief account or summary.

10.

Benefits of Pesticides
The major advantage of pesticides is that they can save farmers. By
protecting crops from insects and other pests. However, below are
some other primary benefits of it.
• Controlling pests and plant disease vectors.
• Controlling human/livestock disease vectors and nuisance organisms.
• Controlling organisms that harm other human activities and structures.

In 2021, the sown area of ​all agricultural crops amounted to 22.9 million hectares (23 000km2).
Of these, grains and legumes – 16.0 million hectares, including wheat - 12.9 million.
Oilseeds are located on an area of 3.1 million hectares,
fodder crops – by 3.1 million hectares,
cotton – by 109.9 thousand hectares,
rice – by 96.8 thousand hectares,
sugar beet – by 21.7 thousand hectares,
potatoes – by 195.8 thousand hectares,
vegetable crops – by 168.6 thousand hectares,
melon crops – by 110.0 thousand hectares.
Thus, the gross harvest for certain main agricultural crops on

• sugar beet – 331.4 thousand tons,
• raw cotton – 290.4 thousand tons,
• vegetables – 2 701.4 thousand tons,
• melon crops – 2 332.3 thousand tons,
• oilseeds – 244.9 thousand tons,

12.

Application of pesticides in Kazakhstan
https://primeminister.kz/ru/news/reviews/itogi-razvitiya-sfery-selskogo-hozyaystva-za-2021-god-i-plany-na-predstoyashchiy-period-22422
In 2021, at the expense of the program for subsidizing the cost of pesticides,
chemical treatment was carried out on an area of 27.9 million hectares, 16.6
million liters of pesticides were subsidized.
For these purposes, 32.3 billion tenge was allocated from the local and republican
budgets.

14.

Pollination
Pollination is the transfer of pollen from an anther of a plant to the stigma of a
plant, later enabling fertilisation and the production of seeds, most often by an
animal or by wind.

15.

Pollination agents
Pollinating agents can be
animals such as insects,
birds, and bats; water;
wind; and even plants
themselves, when selfpollination occurs within
a closed flower.

16.

Pollination agents. Abiotic. Wind
When pollen is transported by wind, this is called anemophily.
Many of the world's most important crop plants are wind-pollinated. These include
wheat, rice, corn, rye, barley, and oats. Many economically important trees are
also wind-pollinated. These include pines, spruces, firs and many hardwood trees,
including several species cultivated for nut production.

17.

WS Task 4
List the crops pollinated by the wind.
* List – give a sequence of brief answers with no explanation.

18.

Pollination agents. Biotic. Insects
Entomophily or insect pollination is a form of pollination whereby pollen of plants,
especially but not only of flowering plants, is distributed by insects.
Flowers pollinated by insects typically advertise themselves with bright colours,
sometimes with conspicuous patterns (honey guides) leading to rewards of pollen
and nectar; they may also have an attractive scent which in some cases mimics
insect pheromones.

Honey production

Honey production in Kazakhstan
https://www.bal-ara.kz/ OFFICIAL SITE OF THE NATIONAL UNION OF BEEKEEPERS OF KAZAKHSTAN
4-5 thousand beekeepers work on the territory of Kazakhstan. If
Business profile "Barrel with honey"
we assume that an average of three tons of honey is produced
At the beginning of summer, the Barrel with Honey company
per person, then at least 12,000 tons of honey is produced in
comes to Kazakhstan with 2,000 bee colonies. During the
Kazakhstan.
summer period, bee colonies breed up to 4,000 colonies,
about 100 tons of honey are pumped out.
On the international market, natural honey - without additives,
For wintering, bees come to Uzbekistan, where more
favorable conditions for wintering have been created.
In 2021, the Barrel with Honey company was among the top
four honey exporters in Kazakhstan in terms of export
volume.
Finance
Estimated annual revenue "Barrel with honey":
2018 - 212.5 million tenge;
2019 - 191.4 million tenge,
2020 - 189.3 million tenge;
2021 - 198.9 million tenge.

antibiotics or syrups – costs 5-6 euros.
In Kazakhstan, honey that is exported costs 1800-2500 tenge
per kilogram. 1500-1800 tenge – the average retail price in the
market of Kazakhstan.
https://kapital.kz/business/66144/osobennosti-medovogo-biznesa-v-kazakhstane.html
In 2011 Kazakhstan produced 900 tons of honey. The number of
breeding bees in all categories of farms of the Republic of
Kazakhstan is 12,538 bee colonies. Compared to 2012, the
number of bee colonies increased by 2,038 units. From 2013
and the next five years, it increased from 900 tons to 4,000,
reaching about 12,000 tons per year in subsequent years
(2021).

22.

Pesticide contamination
Pesticide contamination is widespread. More than 90% of pollen samples from
beehives in agricultural landscapes and more than 90% of stream samples are
contaminated with more than one pesticide.

23.

Exposure Pathways
Pollinators may be exposed to pesticides in numerous ways, including
direct contact with spray residue on plants, through ingestion of
contaminated pollen and nectar,

24.

Direct Contact
Direct contact occurs when pesticides land directly on pollinators. The risk of
direct contact is highest when pesticides are applied on or near flowering
plants, be they crops or weeds.

25.

Residue Contact
Contact with waste occurs when pollinators visit flowers or walk
on leaves that have previously been treated with pesticides.

26.

Contaminated Nesting Areas
Wild bees often nest in areas between row crops, in brush piles, or
overgrown areas at field edges. These sites can become contaminated when
pesticides are applied nearby.

27.

Effects of pesticides
The pesticides disrupt learning
and memory in honey bees and
several studies have shown
solitary bees suffer the same kind
of damage. At higher levels, the
chemicals impair reproduction,
such as by reducing the viability of
sperm, leading to fewer offspring.

28.

New threat
In the past few decades, however, beekeepers have had to cope
with a new threat to their business: agrochemical pesticides,
