Non-selective herbicides are chemicals designed to kill all types of plants, including both weeds and desirable vegetation. They work by targeting specific processes in plants, leading to their death. These herbicides are often used in areas where complete vegetation removal is necessary, such as in industrial sites or before planting crops. Common examples of non-selective herbicides include glyphosate and paraquat. While effective, their use requires caution, as they can harm beneficial plants and disrupt ecosystems. Proper application techniques and protective measures are essential to minimize unintended damage to surrounding flora.
