Herbicides 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 often synthetic mimics of natural plant hormones. Herbicides used to clear waste ground, industrial sites, railways and railway embankments are not selective and kill all plant material with which they come into contact. Smaller quantities are used in forestry, pasture systems, and management of areas set aside as wildlife habitat.
