Any organochlorine compound that has been used as a pesticide.
| Member | Definition | Role |
|---|
| aminocyclopyrachlor | An organochlorine herbicide, the structure of which is that of pyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid substituted at positions 2, 5 and 6 by cyclopropyl, chloro and amino groups respectively. | aminocyclopyrachlor |
| aminopyralid | An organochlorine pesticide having a 3,6-dichlorinated 4-aminopicolinic acid structure. | aminopyralid |
| bithionol | An aryl sulfide that is diphenyl sulfide in which each phenyl group is substituted at position 2 by hydroxy and at positions 3 and 5 by chlorine. A fungicide and anthelmintic, it was used in various topical drug products for the treatment of liver flukes, but withdrawn after being shown to be a potent photosensitizer with the potential to cause serious skin disorders. | bithionol |
| chlorimuron ethyl | An ethyl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of chlorimuron with ethanol. A proherbicide for chloimuron, it is used as herbicide for the control of broad-leaved weeds in peanuts, soya beans, and other crops. | chlorimuron-ethyl |
| clopyralid | An organochlorine pesticide having a 3,6-dichlorinated picolinic acid structure. | clopyralid |
| dyrene | A member of the class of triazenes that is dichlorotriazene in which the hydrogen is replaced by an o-chloroanilino group. A fungicide formerly used to control leaf spots and downy mildew, it is no longer approved for use within the European Union. | anilazine |
| flucofuron | A member of the class of phenylureas that is urea in which each nitrogen is substituted by a 4-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl group. | flucofuron |
| fluensulfone | A member of the class of 1,3-thiazoles carrying 3,4,4-trifluorobut-3-ene-1-sulfonyl and chloro substituents at positions 2 and 5 respectively. A nematicide that is effective against a number of plant parasitic nematodes in a range of agricultural and horticultural crops. | fluensulfone |
| pentachlorophenol | A chlorophenol that is phenol substituted by 5 chloro groups. | pentachlorophenol |
| picloram | A pyridinemonocarboxylic acid that is pyridine-2-carboxylic acid which is substituted by a chloro group at positions 3,5 and 6, and by an amino group at position 4. It is a systemic herbicide used to control deeply rooted herbaceous weeds and woody plants in rights-of-way, forestry, range lands, pastures, and small grain crops. | picloram |
| pyoluteorin | A member of the class of resorcinols that is resorcinol in which the hydrogen at position 2 is replaced by a 4,5-dichloro-1H-pyrrole-2-carbonyl group. It is a natural product found in Pseudomonas fluorescens which exhibits antibacterial properties and is a strong inducer of caspase-3-dependent apoptosis. | pyoluteorin |
