Weed killers are chemical herbicides that are used to kill unwanted plants or weeds. Most weed killers contain one or more active ingredients that work to target and kill specific plants. Glyphosate is a common active ingredient in many popular weed killers. When applied to leaves, glyphosate is absorbed and then translocated throughout the plant, ultimately causing it to die. Weed killers are typically used in agricultural and commercial settings to kill weeds that compete with crops for resources. However, they can also be used in residential settings to kill unwanted plants in gardens or on lawns. Some weed killers are designed for specific types of plants, while others are more general purpose.

Weed killers can be applied using a variety of methods, including spraying, granulating, and soil incorporation. The method of application will vary depending on the weed killer being used and the desired results.
