Abstract

Pesticides are farm, garden, forest and household chemicals used against insects, rodents and other animals, fungi, bacteria, viruses, and weeds. Approximately 300 chemicals are currently used in the more than 3000 registered preparations on the market. They are an important source of increasing productivity in farms and horticulture. In 1980 world production was worth 8 milliard (109) US dollars and is still increasing.
