Methods of plant protection: what you need to know about use?

In the case of selective use, their effect is to affect a certain group of plants, because they only fight those plants, from which it is necessary to get rid, they are most often used to control monocotyledonous or dicotyledonous weeds. However, in the case of non-selective herbicides, these are products, containing special glyphosate. They differ in that, controlling all plants, which are on the site, they are very often used when weeding the soil for future plantings.
