Fungicides
Fungicides are pesticides used to control fungal diseases in
plants, crops, and other settings. They work by killing or
preventing the growth of fungi and their spores, which can
cause damage to agricultural products and ornamental
plants. Fungicides are available in various forms, including
chemical and biological based, and can be applied through
different methods, such as contact, translaminar, or
systemic applications.

Herbicides
Herbicides, also known as weed killers, are substances
used to control unwanted plants, often referred to as
weeds. They are typically applied to the soil or foliage of
plants to either kill them or inhibit their growth.
Herbicides are commonly used in agriculture and
landscaping to manage weed populations and ensure the
health and productivity of desired crops.
Bactericides
Bactericides are substances that kill bacteria. They can
be disinfectants, antiseptics, or antibiotics, and can be
used in various applications like cleaning consumer
products, treating plant diseases, or in medical settings.
Bactericides are often used to control bacterial growth
and prevent infections.

Insecticides
Insecticides in plants, also known as botanical
insecticides or natural insecticides, are chemicals
extracted from plants that are toxic to insects. These
natural compounds are used to control insect pests in
agriculture and other areas.
Many of these compounds disrupt the insect's nervous
system, leading to paralysis and death.
Some interfere with insect growth and development.
Others act as repellents, deterring insects from feeding
on the plant.
