Abstract
This fact sheet introduces the various types of pesticides used to control different types of pests. The most common pesticides include insecticides (for insects), fungicides (for fungi), herbicides (for unwanted plants), miticides (for mites), nematicides (for nematodes), molluscicides (for snails and slugs), and rodenticides (for rodents). The fact sheet also emphasizes the importance of understanding the specific pest a farmer is dealing with in order to recommend the correct pesticide. Pesticides can be classified based on the type of pest they control, their chemical composition, toxicity, and mode of action. The document aims to help agricultural workers select the appropriate pesticide for different pest issues.
