Pests include any plant or animal (insect, rodent, nematode, fungus, terrestrial or aquatic algae or plant, virus, bacteria, or other microorganism) that is detrimental to man. Agricultural pests claim approximately 14% of worldwide food production. Pesticides are contact, digestive, or respiratory poisons that prevent, destroy, inhibit the growth of, repel, or mitigate any pest. Plant pesticides include algicides (algae), fungicides (mould, mildew, mushrooms, yeast, and other fungi), and herbicides (defoliants, weed killers and tree killers). Animal pesticides include o
Insecticides, those agents used to combat insects, taken to include larvicides (larval pesticides), acaricides or miticides (mites), and ixodicides (ticks).

Pesticides
o
A series of species-specific pesticides: avicides (birds), bactericides (bacteria), molluscicides (molluscs), nematicides (nematodes), piscicides (fish), rodenticides (rodents), and viricides (viruses).
PESTICIDE TYPES
There are thousands of available pesticides: broad-based to combat a large number of pests or narrowly focused to combat individual species and leave others unharmed. They include a range of chemicals, almost all of which are toxic to both the pest and humans, including: o o

Alkaloid pesticides, many naturally occurring alkaloids like nicotine in tobacco function as natural pesticides. Aluminium phosphide pesticides, those based on aluminium phosphide (20859-73-8), an insecticide. Arsenical pesticides, those based on arsenic, such as arsenic disulphide, a rodenticide. Benzoic derivatives pesticides, those based on the fungicide benzoic acid (65-85-0), such as tricamba, a herbicide. Bipyridilium pesticides, those including or based on bipyridinium such as diquat or paraquat, both herbicides. Carbamate pesticides, salts and esters of carbamic acid (463-77-4 ), including the insecticide carbaryl. Copper-based pesticides, those that include copper such as the fungicide copper acetate. Coumarin derivative pesticides, those based on coumarin (91-64-5), including warfarin, coumaphos, and coumafuril. Dithiocarbamate pesticides syn. thiocarbamate pesticides, salts and complexes including and based on dithiocarbamic acid, a seed disinfectant, like the deer poison zinc dimethyldithiocarbamatecyclohexylamine complex, metam-sodium, nabam, and maneb. Fluorine pesticides, those based on fluorine, including fluoroacetic acid, a rodenticide. London Pu
