Herbicide Mode of Action
Summary.
Herbicides are chemicals that inhibit or interrupt normal plant growth and development. They are widely used in agriculture, industry, and urban areas for weed management. Herbicides can provide cost-effective weed control while minimizing labor. However, improper herbicide use may result in crop injury, poor weed control, herbicide resistant weeds, environmental contamination, or health risks. Herbicide mode of action refers to how herbicides work. Understanding how herbicides work provides insight into how to use the chemicals and helps diagnose performance problems and related injury symptoms. The best source of information for herbicide use is the herbicide label. Always apply herbicides according to label directions. Publications such as the K-State Research and Extension Report of Progress, Chemical Weed Control for Field Crops, Pastures, Rangeland, and Noncropland, also provide information on available herbicide options and application guidelines. The herbicide label, however, is a legal document, and an applicator is responsible for applying the herbicide according to label directions.
