Which pesticide group is specifically used to eliminate weeds?

  1. Insecticides

  2. Herbicides

  3. Rodenticides

  4. Fungicides

The correct answer is: Herbicides

Herbicides are specifically designed to target and eliminate weeds. Weeds are undesirable plants that compete with cultivated plants for resources such as water, nutrients, and light. Herbicides work by either killing the weeds directly or inhibiting their growth, allowing crops and other desired plants to thrive. In contrast, insecticides are intended for the control of insects, helping to protect crops from pest damage. Rodenticides are formulated to manage rodent populations and prevent them from causing damage to properties or crops. Fungicides are used to combat fungal infections that can affect plants, crops, and even housing. Each of these pesticides serves its unique purpose, but only herbicides are focused on weed management.
