What are pesticides and herbicides? Explain giving examples.
Pesticides are a mixture of two or more substances. They are used for killing pests. Pests include insects, plant pathogens, weeds, mollusks, etc., that destroys the plant crop and spread diseases. Aldrin and diel Drin are the names of some common pesticides.
Herbicides are pesticides specially meant for killing weeds. For example, sodium chlorate (NAClO3), sodium arsenite (Na3AsO3), etc.
