Herbicides

Herbicides are chemicals used to control or eliminate unwanted plants, commonly called weeds, in agricultural fields, lawns, and gardens. They work by targeting specific plant processes, such as growth or photosynthesis, to prevent weeds from competing with desirable plants for nutrients, water, and sunlight. Herbicides can be selective, targeting only certain types of weeds, or non-selective, killing all plants they contact. Proper application and timing are essential to maximize effectiveness while minimizing environmental impact. Overall, herbicides are valuable tools for maintaining healthy, productive crops and landscapes when used responsibly.
