Standard Terminology Related to Biorationals
SCOPE
1.1 This terminology is used in test methods, specifications, guides, and practices related to biorationals comprising biologically-derived materials or, if synthesized, the material must be structurally similar and functionally identical to a biologically occurring material with minor differences between the stereochemical isomer ratios. These definitions are written to ensure that standards related to these materials and their uses are properly understood and interpreted. Terms included in this standard cover materials or products derived from animals, plants, microorganisms, or minerals and focus on functional or marketing claims, or both.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.

2. Terminology
biochemical pesticide, n—biopesticide that is a naturally occurring substance that controls pests by nontoxic mechanisms.
Biochemical pesticides include substances, such as insect sex pheromones, that interfere with mating, as well as various scented
plant extracts that attract insect pests to traps.
biopesticide, n, adj—the term for certain types of pesticides derived from such natural materials as animals, plants, bacteria, and
certain minerals.
biorational, n, adj—the term used to characterize a broad range of low environmental impact substances or products that are
typically biologically-derived or, if synthetic, structurally similar and functionally identical to a biologically occurring material
with minor differences between the respective stereochemical isomer ratios derived from biological or synthetic origins.
