agrotoxin


Explanation:
if the context is environmental protection (e.g., protection of water from pollution from agricultural sources), then this term may be suitable.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Yasser El Helw: "Mobeed" in Arabic is like to say "-cide" without "herbi_" or "pesti-". As pesticides and herbicides are not the same, I suggest the use of both words together unless the context indicates otherwise. Herbicide is perfect!
