Un insecticide spécifique agit sur une espèce d'insecte ou un nombre limité d'espèces apparentées. En fait, les insecticides sont rarement spécifiques: la plupart font preuve d'une polyvalence plus ou moins grande à l'égard de diverses espèces d'insectes.

OBS

Certains termes sont synonymes en anglais, mais non en français: exemples les adjectifs specific et selective.
