Question

What are the different affects of pesticides on plants??

Answer 1

pesticide is an all-encompassing word for Herbicide, Insecticide, Fungicide, and several other things... like defoliators and dessicants....

a pesticide is meant to be rid of a pest..... herbicide for weeds, insecticide for insect/bugs, fungicide for fungus, and so on....

so, a plant can benefit from getting rid of a bug, or a mildew fungus, or die from the weed killer!.... so it's a great idea to KNOW what you are using on WHAT plant for WHICH reason!....
