Herbicides Control weeds. Acaricides Control mites. Rodenticides Control rodents (rats, mice). Molluscicides Control snails. Nematicides Control nematodes. Chemical group Insecticides: Inorganic Pesticides which do not contain carbon. They commonly contain arsenic, copper, mercury, sulphur, tin or zinc. Many of these compounds are now banned or have severely limited uses. Examples are Kumulus-DF (sulphur) Organic Pesticides which contain carbon. Some are derived directly from plants and other living material, but most are synthetic in that they have been developed by man. They are the most commonly used pesticides. - Organophosphates Examples are Chlorpyrifos and Dimethoate - Carbamates Examples are Carbaryl. - Pyrethroids Examples are Deltamethrin and Lambda-Cyhalothrin. Biological / Contain bacteria, fungi, protozoa or viruses, such as Bacillus thuringiensis Microbial and Abamectin. Botanical Obtained from plant extracts, such as rotenone, neem, and pyrethrum. Herbicides Herbicides have many different chemical groups, the most common of which include triazines, substituted ureas, and sulfonylureas. Fungicides As with herbicides, fungicides have many different chemical groups. Common groups are inorganic and dithiocarbamates. - Inorganic Examples are wettable sulphur. - Dithiocarbamates Examples are Thiram
