Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason why herbicides are safer to use near animals even though they inhibit the synthesis of
Concept introduction: The chemical substances that are used to control the growth of unwanted plants, such as weeds or grasses, are known as herbicides or weed killers. These pesticides interfere with the weed growth and are mostly based on plant hormones. The herbicide resistance in crops is a cost-effective and time-saving means of controlling weeds. Some plants can naturally produce herbicides.
