Extract

Selective herbicides that will control certain broadleaved but not grassy species or vice versa have been in use for a number of years, but recently selective herbicides have been developed that are toxic to a greater number of weed species. Such an herbicide is 2–chloro–4,6–bis(ethylamino)–s–triazine (simazine) which selectively controls virtually all grassy and broadleaved annual weeds in corn and in some horticultural and woody species. This approaches the ultimate in selective weed control since a farmer usually wants to grow one plant species and eliminate all others.
