The movement of nutrients into the vascular stele requires energy, unlike the movement of water that does not require energy. This energy is provided by the phloem. Sugars are produced in the leafs, as part of the photosynthesis process, so whenever a new root is growing, or a fruit needs to grow, the phloem gets in action. With the help of the water the sugars get in the phloem, which can most simply be seen as an elevator inside the plant, that is moving nutrients up and down, on the places in which they are most needed.

DDT stands for dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane. The first kind of synthetic/artificial insecticides came into use in the 1940s. The earlier usage of DDT include: a) Killing of malarial vectors, b) Combatting Typhus and other insect borne human diseases, c) As a pest control in crops d) as a pest control in garden, live stock production and even at homes.

The negative impact of DDT could be felt for the first time when the pests that were earlier killed by use of DDT have now become pesticides resistant. In the 1950s in USA, the regulatory measures were adopted to reduce the usage of DDTs as its effects as a pesticides were no more long significant and also it was creating detrimental physical and psychological impacts on the human and environment.

It was in 1972 that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency cancelled the order for banning the usage of DDT based on the adverse impact it produced on the environment, human and other life forms. Since then continuous studies are being conducted to analyse the impact of DDTs. In some later years it was established that DDT is the cause of producing tumors in liver.

Some of the common negative impacts produced by DDT as per the U.S. Department of Agriculture :

a) The non destructive nature – DDT can not be destroyed and thus it remains persistent in the atmosphere

b) It attacks the tissues of living organisms especially the animals and humans ( fatty tissue)

c) It can penetrate the atmosphere to deeper extent.

Now as per the current stuation, The use of DDT is controlled and other alternatives of pest control organisms is being deduced. As per the treaty of Stockholm Convention on POPs (Persistent organic pollutants) , usage of DDT for malarial control is justified but it puts a restrictive use of DDT as pesticides in other areas.
