Answer 6

herbicides, insecticides, miticides, rodenticides, acaricides, molluscicides, fungicides.  Also the occasional defoliant.

Answer 7

New generation pesticides (insecticides and fungicides) are used now which are systemic, contact or fumigant in action. Latest news is that monsanto has released transgenic plants with Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) genes which need no pesticides and keeps all pests away.
