Pesticides

The unified English name is pesticide, meaning "killing agent." Its general definition refers to a general term for a class of drugs used in agricultural production to protect and promote the growth of plants and crops, including insecticides, fungicides, and agents that kill harmful animals (or weeds). Specifically, it refers to agents used in agriculture to prevent and control pests and diseases, regulate plant growth, control weeds, and so on. Common pesticides can generally be divided by different uses into seven types: insecticides, acaricides, fungicides, herbicides, plant growth regulators, nematicides, and rodenticides.
