| Abstract | This material explains the concept of the "mode of action" in pesticides, which refers to how a pesticide works to kill or disrupt a pest's functions. Understanding the mode of action is crucial for selecting the appropriate pesticide for a specific pest, helping to achieve effective pest control while reducing resistance. The fact sheet outlines various modes of action, including broad vs. narrow spectrum, short-term vs. residual, contact vs. systemic, and selective vs. non-selective. It also discusses the life-stage affected by pesticides and the concept of translocation in weed control. Additionally, it links these modes of action to common pesticide types such as insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, miticides, nematicides, molluscicides, and rodenticides. | |
