Herbicides and Weedicides are pesticides that help control the growth of unwanted plants, like weeds. Herbicides are typically applied after weed seedlings emerge from the soil and kill all broadleaf plants, whereas weedicides target specific weed species that can withstand standard herbicides. Weed control is critical for farmers who want to maximise crop yields by limiting soil moisture and nutrient availability. Herbicide applications also aid in the control of unwanted pests, preventing crop damage that would otherwise result in financial losses.
