OVERVIEW
Herbicides, also known as weedicides, are chemical or biological products used to control, suppress, or eliminate unwanted weeds that compete with crops for nutrients, water, sunlight, and space. They help farmers maintain clean fields, improve crop growth, and increase overall yield by reducing weed pressure. Herbicides are widely used in agriculture, horticulture, and plantation crops to manage grasses, broad-leaf weeds, and sedges effectively. Modern herbicides are formulated for selective and non-selective action, fast results, and safer application, ensuring effective weed control while minimizing impact on crops and the environment when used as recommended.
