Pesticide chemical types can be directly divided into herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, Plant growth regulators，etc.

Pesticide chemicals are an essential tool when it comes to managing pests. There are many different types of pesticides available, and what you use depends entirely on the particular pest or problem you are dealing with.
You can browse the various popular types of pesticide chemicals we offer to learn more about each one, as well as to purchase the products featured in that pesticide chemical category.

Insecticides are pesticides formulated to kill, injure, repel or mitigate one or more insects. They include chemicals such as hydrogen cyanide, naphthalene, nicotine and methyl bromide, and are used primarily to kill pests of stored products or to fumigate seedlings.

Fungicides are biocidal compounds or biological organisms used to kill parasitic fungi or their spores. They can be used to control fungi that damage plants, including rust, mildew and wilt. They can also be used to control molds and mildews in other environments.

Herbicides are chemicals that are used to manipulate or control undesirable vegetation. Herbicide applications occur most often in row crop plantings and are applied before or during planting to maximize crop productivity by reducing other vegetation.

Plant growth regulators are substances that have similar physiological and biological effects to plant hormones through artificial synthesis after understanding the structure and mechanism of action of natural plant hormones, and are used in agricultural production to effectively regulate the growth process of crops and achieve stable production. The purpose of increasing yield, improving quality, and enhancing crop stress resistance.

How Pesticide Chemicals Work

An insecticide is any chemical agent designed to kill pests. While insects or rodents are the first things that come to mind when talking about pesticides, the term classifies many different types of pests. For example, fungicides are insecticides that target diseases, molds and fungi that may grow, herbicides are insecticides used to kill weeds and unwanted plants, insecticides are insecticides used to kill insects, and fungicides are insecticides used to kill bacteria, etc.
Other types of chemicals used in insecticides do not kill pests per se but are the complementary or supplementary chemical that helps the insecticide work better. These include IGRs (insect growth regulators), synergists, pheromones, and surfactants.

Benefits of pesticide chemicals

Pesticides are important chemicals because they protect against pests that may be considered a health hazard. For farmers, they can help prevent economic losses. For homeowners, pesticide chemicals can prevent potential damage to homes (termites damaging the wood, rodents chewing on electrical wires, etc.)
Pesticide chemicals can help control diseases and disease vectors, such as disease-carrying mosquitoes or harmful viruses that pests may spread or produce through their filthy habits.
Pesticide chemicals also help mitigate hazards caused by pests that may impede human activity (e.g., water plants that are detrimental to water recreation, excessive vegetation in industrial sites that impede workers or may cause fires, etc.)

Things to Consider When Choosing Chemicals

It is important to note that when you choose a chemical type, you are putting safety first. Pesticides often contain toxic chemicals that can be harmful to the environment if used improperly. You should also wear appropriate personal protective equipment before mixing, handling and applying chemicals and read pesticide labels to understand what precautions to take before applying.

In addition to protective equipment, it is important to have the proper application equipment for the chemical you wish to use. Some chemicals can be applied without additional equipment, while others require a method of application, whether it is a sprayer, spreader, duster, or tool for proper product distribution.

Choosing the right chemical may require some homework or research into the pest or problem you are trying to solve. Some pesticide chemical types may be more viable than others in terms of ease of use, price, or a number of other factors. The more you know about a particular pest, the better equipped you will be to make the right decision when choosing a chemical type.
