Take control of unwanted vegetation while preserving the beauty of desired plants with our range of selective herbicides. Target specific weeds with precision, ensuring effective results and minimal impact on surrounding flora. Ideal for grass and lawns, these selective herbicides prioritise both safety and sustainability.
In contrast to total herbicides, selective herbicides are specially formulated chemicals that target and eliminate unwanted weeds while minimising harm to surrounding desirable plants. They are commonly used on lawns to control invasive species without damaging the main vegetation. These herbicides work by exploiting biological differences between weeds and cultivated plants, ensuring effective weed management with minimal impact on the environment.
What are the benefits of selective herbicides?
Selective herbicides are useful for weed control because they target only unwanted plants. This helps reduce waste and limits the amount of chemicals used. They protect crops and other beneficial plants, allowing them to grow better. They also help the environment by reducing chemical runoff and keeping ecosystems safe.
Is glyphosate a selective or non-selective herbicide?
Glyphosate is a non-selective herbicide, meaning it eliminates most plants it comes into contact with, regardless of species. It works by disrupting the shikimic acid pathway, a vital process for plant growth, ultimately leading to the plant's death.
