Desiccants (from Latin desicco — dry; desiccans (desiccantis) — drying) are chemical substances used in agriculture for desiccating plants at the root. They can be conditionally classified as herbicides, as they irreversibly affect plants by causing tissue dehydration, ultimately...

Mass of the preparation per unit of treated area. It is customary to express the dosage rate in kilograms per hectare. The dosage rate is most often given in terms of 100% active ingredient, although sometimes it is calculated based on the preparation in the form of application w...

Depending on their ability to move through living tissues, herbicides are divided into contact and systemic. Contact herbicides cause local damage to plant tissue upon contact, which dies or gradually degrades. This action does not always completely destroy the plant; often, its...

Based on the method of application, herbicides are divided into foliar, soil, and root herbicides. Foliar herbicides are applied to vegetative plants and act through their above-ground organs. The main method of application for such preparations is spraying using sprayers or airp...

Herbicides are divided into two groups according to their mode of action: Non-selective herbicides — intended for the destruction of all plant species. They are applied in agricultural fields during the absence of the main crop (after harvest, before crop emergence, on fallow lan...

Herbicides are classified according to application timing into pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides. Pre-emergent herbicides are mostly soil-applied or granular formulations applied before the emergence of crop plants. They are applied either pre-sowing (during pre-sowing cu...
