Types and classification of agrochemical

Agrochemicals may include pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, fertilizers, soil conditioners, algaecides etc. A brief introduction of these elements follow -

Pesticides: A chemical or substance developed to repel, control and destroy certain organisms such as insects, weeds, fungi, rodents and microbes that threaten cultivated plants is called pesticides.

Insecticides: Several insect types, including locusts, beetles, aphids, mealybugs thrips etc., which can inflict irreversible damage to humans, crop yields and farm animals. Insecticides are used to kill, repel, control and destroy insects.

Fungicides: The effect of fungi and fungal-like organisms (FLOs) on human nutrition, plant health, and food loss is severe. Fungicides are engineered to control fungal growth and stop them from inflicting damages.

Fertilizers: Fertilizers can be chemical compounds or natural substances which are added to the soil to promote plant growth. They address the nutrient deficiency challenges of the soil and are applied to soil or plant tissues. Different types of fertilizers exist in their organic and inorganic variants.

Organic fertilizers : are sourced from plant or animal-based materials through naturally occurring processes like manures, compost etc., whereas inorganic fertilizers, also known as synthetic fertilizers are manufactured artificially and may contain mineral or synthetic chemicals.
