Before you start making up your own definitions, I suggest that you
have
a read of:-

http://www.pesticides.gov.uk/appendices.asp?id=744


Which gives:
-----------
Pesticide
Any substance, preparation or organism prepared or used for
controlling
any pest. A pesticide product consists of one or more active
substances
co-formulated with other materials. Formulated pesticides exist in
many
forms, such as solid granules, powders or liquids.
-----------

That Govt. definition is not relevant to this thread because clover
is
not considered to be a pest in organic gardening.

Organic gardening is not the be-all and end-all of gardening, and
clover is not the only plant which is a pest under certain
circumstances. Alchemilla mollis is a pest in my garden, as is moss.
There are gardens in which Japanese Knotweed is a pest.
Please read my other posts on the definition of the term "pesticide".
