What is the difference between first generation and second generation pesticides?
The "first generation" pesticides were largely highly toxic compounds, such as arsenic and hydrogen cyanide. Their use was largely abandoned because they were either too ineffective or too toxic. The "second generation" pesticides largely included synthetic organic compounds. ('Synthetic' here means made by humans -- not naturally occurring, while 'organic' means carbon containing, not to be confused with the popular use of "organic" as in "organic farming".)
What is the other name of third generation sequencing?
next-next generation sequencing
What is an example of first generation pesticide use?
First & second generation is usually in reference to anticoagulants (rodenticide) & when product was developed. First gen is about the 40's to 60's. I have not heard the term in reference to pesticides.

How are pesticides bad?
Yes pesticides are some what bad because of what they do, they kill insects. They also go threw the ground and eventually end in water making pollution... Some of the insects that the pesticides kill are actually not going to hurt the plants that the pesticides are on in the first place. that means pesticides kill and pollute, does that sound very good. Pesticides are made from chemicals, bad ones at that and poison's in poison's out.
