View source for List of pesticides

{{TOC right}}
This list of [[pesticide]]s is based on the [[Food and Agriculture Organization]] (FAO) definition of a pesticide.<ref>{{citation | title = International Code of Conduct on the Distribution and Use of Pesticides | url = http://www.fao.org/WAICENT/FAOINFO/AGRICULT/AGP/AGPP/Pesticid/Code/Download/code.pdf | publisher = Food and Agriculture Organization | year = 2002}}.</ref>
{{quotation|any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying or controlling any pest, including vectors of human or animal disease, unwanted species of plants or animals causing harm during or otherwise interfering with the production, processing, storage, transport or marketing of food, agricultural commodities, wood and wood products or animal feedstuffs, or substances which may be administered to animals for the control of insects, arachnids or other pests in or on their bodies. The term includes substances intended for use as a plant growth regulator, defoliant, desiccant or agent for thinning fruit or preventing the premature fall of fruit, and substances applied to crops either before or after harvest to protect the commodity from deterioration during storage and transport.}}

It includes those pesticides that
*are the subject of a [[Pesticide Data Sheet]] (PDS) issued by the FAO and the [[World Health Organization]] (WHO);
It does not include products that are only used as bactericides (eg, disinfectants) although, if a pesticide has a secondary use as a bactericide, this is noted.

Some pesticides have been withdrawn from use: in these cases, the information about use describes what the pesticide ''used to be'' used for. Where information is given about approval status, this refers to approval for agricultural or industrial use. Some pesticides may no longer be approved for widespread (ie, agricultural or industrial) use but are still in use in more restricted circumstances: examples include [[DDT]] (for public health purposes) and [[lindane]] (up until 2009, for medical use).
