pesticides, fungicides, herbicides: All of them contain the suffix "cide," which in Latin means "killer" or "the act of killing." The "cides" in this case indicate the ability to kill entities that negatively affect plants, such as certain insects, fungi and plant diseases. Fungicides and herbicides are forms of pesticide. Pesticides are substances that kill plant pests, with "pests" meaning a broad spectrum of problems, including fungi and even other plants.

now i am going to explain

ungicides

Fungi result in plant mold, rot or even disease. Fungicides help to control fungi before they become one of those serious problems. Fungicides are either protectants or eradicants. A protectant fungicide is applied before a fungus is evident, essentially as a preventive measure. Fruit and vegetable crops are commonly treated with protectants. An eradicant is applied directly to a fungus and usually is needed when a protectant was not applied. Eradicants are useful, for instance, to stop a disease in its tracks in a fruit tree orchard where some of the trees suffer from the disease. Fungicides used for agricultural purposes in the United States must be registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and must not harm the rest of a treated plant or leave toxic residue behind. An example of a fungicide is triticonazole, which is used on cereal grains.

Herbicides

Herbicides are different from other types of pesticides because they're designed to kill or curtail certain kinds of plant growth rather than protect them. Herbicides are applied in places such as lawns and golf courses. A selective herbicide is designed to kill only one type of plant in an area containing more plant varieties; an example is an herbicide that kills weeds growing among grass. Non-selective herbicides kill all plants in the application area, such as all types of plants growing between pavement cracks. Inorganic herbicide chemicals include sodium chlorate and borate; organic versions include phenol derivatives and sulfonylureas.

Pesticides

Pesticides treat an extensive range of potential plant problems and are applied in numerous ways. Pesticides other than herbicides and fungicides include insecticides, miticides and rodenticides, which kill insects, mites and rodents, respectively. Some pesticides are applied directly to plants or soil and can be in liquid, powder or gas form. Others are baits, such as ant traps or rodent poisons, that appeal to those forms of pests.

Non-Toxic Options

The use of pesticides on or near edible plants is of concern to many people because data reported by the FDA as well as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has shown that potentially toxic residue is sometimes present on produce as it reaches markets and dinner tables. The Environmental Working Group analyzes government pesticide data and releases an annual list called "The Dirty Dozen." Produce listed as organic does not contain toxic pesticides. A natural fungicide contains baking soda mixed with water and cinnamaldehyde, which is made by steam-distilling cinnamon bark. Natural herbicide options include vinegar and herbicidal soap. Care should be used with even natural herbicides because accidentally applying or spilling them on plants you wish to protect may harm or kill them.

hope it will help of u
