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).
For pesticides that pose a cancer risk greater than negligible (one in a million), there are two different policies, depending on the situation. For pesticide residues in raw agricultural commodities, EPA may register the pesticide if the benefits of its use outweigh its risks.
