What are bactericides used for?

Explanation:
Bactericides are pesticides designed to kill bacteria. They’re used when bacterial pathogens threaten plants, stored products, or equipment, and to sanitize surfaces to prevent bacterial contamination. This distinguishes them from fungicides (which kill fungi), insecticides (which kill insects), and virucides (which kill viruses). While some products may have broad antimicrobial effects, the label specifies what organisms they target, so bactericides are specifically for killing bacteria. Always follow the label to ensure correct use and safety.
