Herbicides are substances that are characterized by the elimination of all those plants that are not wanted, which are called weeds, generally this type of products are used in the agricultural industry, to avoid the unwanted growth of plants that interrupt the correct development of the plantations. For many, the use of this type of product does not tend to transfer its content to the crops where it is used, which means a serious risk to people's health, since they can end up being intoxicated.
Herbicides are very diverse from each other, some are characterized by eradicating plants that are in their path at all times, but on the other hand there are also selective ones that are limited to eradicating only a specific type of plant. There are also those that are applied directly to the leaves of plants - such as those used on the ground. Those that are used directly on the ground are generally widely used in fruit tree plantations in order for them to integrate with the ground and prevent weeds from developing. For its part, those applied directly to the plant, it is generally used on the leaves so that it does not alter the root of the plant, it is generally used in gardening.
Experts in this substance give great importance to the mode of action (MoA), but to determine said MoA, exhaustive studies are required among specialists from various branches, such as chemistry, physiology, etc. This is done in this way, in order to verify the impact that the herbicide has on a crop and at the same time on its production, for this reason using herbicides can have direct consequences on the economy of a given region.
Although their benefits are multiple, the fact that they also have negative aspects cannot be avoided, since they can have a direct impact on the flora and fauna of a region, affecting entire ecosystems, however their effects can vary greatly and therefore therefore it is necessary to carry out studies directly in the field to be able to have an idea of its impact.
