The third generation pesticide amongst the following is

Solution
The correct option is A JH analogues
Third generation pesticide is defined as biodegradable, water soluble pesticide, which are more toxic.
Analogues of the juvenile hormone (JH) are used as an insecticide, preventing the larvae from developing into adult insects. JH itself is expensive to synthesize and is unstable in light. At high levels of JH, larvae can still molt, but the result will only be a bigger larva, not an adult. Thus, the insect's reproductive cycle is broken.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
