Compendium of Pesticide Common Names
Insecticides
This classification of insecticides is based on chemical structure and primarily on the system developed by the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC ). This classification scheme is consistent with that used inThe Pesticide Manual and the terms widely used in the literature. The IRAC has also developed a coding system based on mode of action; these codes are included inThe Pesticide Manual.
