The generic name of poisonous chemicals, very often used in commercial agriculture that are used to kill organisms that either reduce the yield of crops or are harmful to animals are pesticides.

Pesticides are the chemicals used to kill the pests affecting the growth and yield of the crops. Pesticide is a broad term covering various small terms according to the pest being killed. For example insecticide, nematicide, avicide, rodenticide, bactericide, etc. Some chemicals used as pesticides are boric acid, Acephate, Deet, Propoxur, glyphosate, etc.

Commercial agriculture means growing of crops so as to sell them in the market to be utilized by the wide population of any area. Any crop can be grown at the commercial level. These crops do not reach the customers directly by the farmers, instead they are sold to whole-sellers first.
