Non-Selective Herbicide & Non-Selective Weed Killer

Weed control can be tricky business, and choosing the right herbicide can be even trickier. You need to choose your product based on the weeds you need to control. Non-selective herbicide is good for spot treatments and ridding large areas of all vegetation, but you do need to know a few things about non-selective herbicides before you put them to use in your yard.

Non-Selective Post Emergent Herbicides will kill most vegetation, including turf grasses. Common brand names include Round-Up and Rodeo Herbicide. If you only want to kill certain weeds in a lawn without damaging the turf, try using a selective herbicide product.

How Non-Selective Herbicides Work

Non-selective weed killers do not differentiate between plants when applied, so a non-selective product will affect any growing plant. This is why you must take great care when using this type of herbicide. Non-selective herbicides are contact or systemic. Contact herbicides kill the green tissues of the surface they touch. Systemic herbicides enter a plant at point of contact and move throughout the plant, often entering through the roots, and should be applied when plants are most vulnerable. These herbicides are post-emergent, meaning they should be applied to actively growing plants.
