Pesticides are chemicals used to eliminate or control a variety of agricultural pests that can damage crops and livestock and reduce farm productivity. The most commonly applied pesticides are insecticides (to kill insects), herbicides (to kill weeds), rodenticides (to kill rodents), and fungicides (to control fungi, mold, and mildew).
Really a herbicide is a kind of pesticide. Cide means to kill, so a pesticide is just anything that's meant to kill a pest. So all of these are pesticides. So insecticides are meant to kill insects, fungicides are meant to kill fungi, herbicides are meant to kill plants.
