Plant protection products or pesticides Active substances and preparations containing one or more active substances intended to protect plants (or plant products) against harmful organisms. The term ‘plant protection product’ (or pesticide) implies that the active substances are present in a form or product which can be supplied to the user. Active substances in plant protection products may also destroy undesired plants or influence life processes of plants in a way other than as a nutrient (for example as growth regulators).
