DEF

A [substance, usually a] chemical, used to control, to repel, to attract or to kill pests, for example, insects, weeds, birds, mammals, fish, or microbes, that are considered a nuisance.

Examples of pesticides [are] - herbicides for destruction or development prevention of weeds; - fungicides for destruction or development prevention of fungi (example, QoI); - insecticides for destruction or development prevention of insects; - Growth regulators to prevent excess growth of a plant (prevention of lodging in wheat); - molluscicides (against snails...); - acaricides or miticides against mites; - products favoring plant resistance ...

OBS

Regulations on pesticides make a distinction between those mainly used for crop protection purposes, which are generally known as phytopharmaceuticals or, more commonly, phytosanitary products (Directive 91/414/EEC), and those known as biocides (defined in particular in Directive 98/8/EEC). For example, an insecticide is a phytosanitary product when applied to a wheat crop, but is called a biocide when applied to roof timbers.
