Herbicide

Herbicides, also commonly known as weedkillers, are pesticides used to kill unwanted plants. Selective herbicides kill specific targets while leaving the desired crop relatively unharmed. Some of these act by interfering with the growth of the weed and are often synthetic "imitations" of plant...

s. It improves the solubility of many common herbicides in organic solvents, increasing their penetration of the waxy surfaces of plants. It may also interfere with the function of tadpole gills. This surfactant is not regulated under environmental laws because it is not considered an active ingredient in the herbicide
