Broad-Spectrum Herbicide

A pesticide which kills a wide range of different weed species. The control may be
1. selective, in killing a wide range of weeds but not all weed species and not desirable grass species; or
2. non-selective, in killing most or all vegetation, with it being non-discriminate in the species controlled. In this situation it is typically used in controlling weeds on pathways or clearing an area of vegetation prior to some form of cultivation work.
