Herbicides are a class of chemicals that kill weeds or harmful plants without affecting the normal growth of crops.

1. Classification of Herbicides

Herbicides can be classified according to their mode of action, conduction, application method, chemical structure, and mechanism of action.

(1) Mode of Action

Herbicides can be divided into selective herbicides and biocidal herbicides according to their mode of action.

  • Selective Herbicides

Selective herbicides have a selective effect on different plants. Selective herbicides can kill weeds without harming crops, or even kill certain weeds without harming crops and other weeds.

(2) Conduction

According to the conduction of herbicides in plants, herbicides can be divided into contact herbicides and systemic conduction herbicides.

  • Contact Herbicides

Contact herbicides only kill the parts of the weeds that are in contact with the herbicide, and play a local killing effect, but cannot or rarely conduct in plants, such as paraquat.

  • Systemic Conduction Herbicides

After being absorbed by weeds, systemic conduction herbicides can be transferred to plants through the parts in contact with weeds, which can lead to the death of the whole plant, such as glyphosate.

Some herbicides have both contact killing and systemic conduction, but one mode of action is the primary mode of action.

(3) Application Methods

Herbicides can be divided into stem and leaf treatment agents and soil treatment agents according to their application methods.

  • Soil Treatment Agents

The soil treatment agent is directly sprayed on the soil surface in the form of a solution, and is absorbed by the roots, coleoptiles and other parts of weeds to exert a herbicidal effect, such as prometryn.
