Which is NOT a type of pesticide mentioned in the text?

Fungicides
Virucides
Herbicides
Rodenticides

The correct answer is: Virucides

The correct answer indicates that "Virucides" is not a type of pesticide mentioned in the text. Pesticides are substances used to prevent, destroy, or control pests, which typically include insects, weeds, fungi, and rodents. The other three options—fungicides, herbicides, and rodenticides—are all widely recognized categories of pesticides. Fungicides are used specifically to combat fungal infections, herbicides target unwanted plant life or weeds, and rodenticides are designed to control rodent populations. Virucides, while related to controlling viruses, do not fall under the traditional classification of pesticides, which predominantly focus on pests that threaten crops, plants, and stored products. Thus, identifying virucides as not fitting within the established categories of pesticides demonstrates a clear understanding of the terminology and classifications in pest management.
