As we already know theherbicidesThey are phytosanitary products used to control the proliferation of weeds that can affect our crops.

Herbicides, due to their mode of application, can be:

herbicides ofresidual action, that is, they reach the plant from the ground.

• Residual action herbicides that prevent the germination of seeds and weeds.
• Residual action herbicides that are absorbed by the roots of already born plants. 

herbicides of leaf action, that is, they are absorbed by the stems and leaves.

• herbicides of leaf actionsystemic, which are absorbed by the plant and move to destroy it through its system of circulatory vessels.
• herbicides of leaf actionby contact, which destroyleaves and stems where they are applied, not affecting the root at any time.

Due to their mode of action, they can be:

Total herbicides: Products conceived for the total control of annual and perennial weeds. They are usually used for land clearing.

Selective herbicides: Pconceived productsto removea specific type of weed, preserving the rest of the crop.

By their moment of application, they can be:

Pre-plant herbicides: This type of herbicides are applied on the ground before planting or transplanting.

Post-plant herbicides : This type of herbicides are applied on the ground once the crop has been sown. In turn, post-sowing herbicides can be divided into:

• herbicides ofpre-emergency are thoseapplied before weed emergence
• herbicides frompost-emergence arethose applied after weed emergence.
