Herbicides

Herbicides are chemicals used to control or eliminate unwanted vegetation, commonly known as weeds. These substances are specifically designed to target plants, either by disrupting their growth processes or by outright killing them. Herbicides come in various forms, including liquids, granules, and sprays, and they can be applied to vegetation through methods like spraying, spreading, or injecting into the soil.

There are different types of herbicides classified based on their mode of action and selectivity. Selective herbicides target specific types of plants while leaving desired plants relatively unharmed. Non-selective herbicides, on the other hand, are designed to kill most plant species they come into contact with.
